Geologist At Work

When I was in high school my favorite books were in the 'Winning Of America' historical fiction series by Allen Eckert. The NYT has a profile of Asbury Sallenger Jr. and his book 'Island In The Storm' which sounds like a work of geological fiction: The Geologist’s Tale: A Storm, a Survivor and a Vanishing Island
The book is “Island in a Storm.” The island is Isle Derniere (in French, “last island”), one of the barrier islands that run along the Louisiana coast. And the storm was a ferocious hurricane that roared out of the Gulf of Mexico on Aug. 10, 1856.

Atlas Shrugging?

NY Times - Formal Search for Adventurer Is Halted

First Jim Gray, now Steve Fossett has been lost. If Steve Jobs disappears it'll be time to start searching for a secret canyon in Colorado.

I am not alone in thinking this apparently:
The Lone Sysadmin - Steve Fossett, Jim Gray… Atlas Shrugged?
Through The Looking Glass - BEE-Witched, Bothered, and BEE-Wildered
Could There Ever Be a Galt's Gulch?
