    Ticks & Chiggers--a study

    So we went out again this morning to do a few things we were not able to do the last two days, and this time we had our clothes sprayed with permethrin. We got out of the car and the pine flies were serious so we also sprayed ourselves with "Off.” In seconds the pine flies left us so we headed...

    Turtle

    We found this today on the rail of the JCRR. Jessica was reading that for the first 4 years or so they can't fully close up their shell leaving them vulnerable to predators.

    Exploring The Mines Spung Fire Area

    Also, we checked on a morning glory location that the state is trying to protect by using whips. This plant is usually starting to grow around now and the area it was at was crispy burnt. It should be interesting to see how it does this year.

    Exploring The Mines Spung Fire Area

    Big Fire Near The Boot Camp

    I was going to go there today but the roads are still officially closed and I know that at least one person was told to leave already. The nighthawk eggs I found are out there and I wanted to get there every few days to be there right after or when they hatched. I suspect it is past that point...
