Meadow Valley

We're moving! Tomorrow we'll be packing up and making our way down to our summer housing at the Berkeley Forestry Camp in Meadow Valley where we have a little duplex for our crew. Thursday I'm off to alumni weekend at Carleton. Dare I bring my camera? The internet situation in Meadow Valley is unclear at the moment, but from what I hear of past experiences the dial-up at the camp and frequent work-related camping excursions make my my blog posting a bit more sporadic.

Par day at Pine Gulch, walked around with my camera a lot.

Until next year #alumnigame

After an awesome alumni weekend with CUT, I somehow made it back to Cali in time for work today. Not much sleep for four days, but with 29 birds today we were kept busy at Pine Gulch
