Hey world

So I came back this weekend, and now I leave again in a couple hours. What can I tell you? The mountains are big, and very hot. We have been staying in posh national park service housing for the last 2 weeks, something that we found out about on the first day of the job. Tomorrow marks the first day of backcountry camping. The crew that I am with is...unfortunate. The two other field techs are girls that have little experience camping, and have proven to be excruciatingly annoying, each in her own special way. I would not be the least bit surprised if after the first night of camping, the sound of bears snuffing around camp results in one or both of them quietly packing up their things and hiking back to their car. I would also not be surprised if I react in the same way. I'll be back for another weekend, July 29-31, I'll post an update on how things are going. Take care of yourselves.
