Field Work Travelogue – Day sixteen

We’re in Vernal for the night. It’s time to shower and re-supply.

We didn’t actually go to the field today, so I’ll just show you some photo highlights, unrelated to the science, of the trip thus far.

A pair of lovely horses we met on the 4th.

Sharing some kisses.

There was an amazing double rainbow that night.

A double rainbow! What does it mean?

Last night and this morning we met a few of the – er – locals. The Scorpions.

Scorpions really do glow under black light.

And by daylight, scorpions are just as ugly!

Tomorrow we have a ‘free’ day, and will return to camp in the evening. I think we’ll visit Dinosaur National Monument and the Utah Field House.

Sounds fun!
