Yet, there he was-in the middle of nowhere-held captive by a woman who meant business. Simply put, Lamarre was in this predicament because of his desire to learn more about a rocky outcrop. After all, that is what geologists do.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn his fascinating narrative, Lamarre shares details of his adventures during his thirteen-year career as a minerals exploration geologist.
