Field Work Travelogue – Day twenty

The last full day of field work. Tomorrow is a partial day, then we’ll break camp. It’s kind of sad.

The day started with some difficulty. Apparently I ran over something on the way in last night.

Luckily, my colleagues had a tire patch kit and my little power pack was able to pump things all up again.

It was clean up day at our most-visited locality. We filled in some holes from jackets we collected, and quickly trenched and jacketed a couple more things.

This trench was a booger to dig. The rock was hard, and naturally the specimen was on a steep slope.

It was a rather desolate place to work, but I’ll miss being there.

There are still a few things to find, nevertheless.

The evening was wrapped up with cataloging all of the specimens we have collected.

And then the work really begins…
