Just another day on the tundra

July 31, 2010

We woke up this morning still amazed by the mind-blowing experiences of the previous day. After a quick breakfast we put on our waders and set out for more data gathering. The ponds we were assigned to today were quite deep and a few of us became wet pretty quick. This was a good thing though, as it helped us to stand the heat. As usual, the area was gorgeous and we were well provided in magnificent sceneries. A few bug bites later, we were in the car on our way to get a well-deserved lunch. After lunch I started working on the water data with Harish, Zack and Abby started classifying the (pleintyful) fish we had gathered and Dan went to set more traps acompanied by Amy. Dan and Amy had a few misadventures while setting the traps; they had to push the car that got stuck. After work Dr. Cash gave us an interesting talk about evolution, giving us a fresh outlook on the subject. After a game of bananagram and a few adventures with Daniel we went to sleep weary of yet another exilhiarating day.
