Back in Da U.P.

Oh Yeah, so...
I'm back in the UP for my second summer practicum. This year's menu includes Mammals, Herps, and Birds. Speaking of Herps...


This little feller was sitting just a few hundred feet down a trail from where I'm living this summer. He was found by a friend of mine and I went back two hours later and he was in the exact same spot. I set up a light and snapped away.
That was monday night

Tuesday I stayed in Brown County State Park for my three day seasonal naturalist training. It was rigorous, but good. Friday was my first official day of work, but didn't end up doing much, mostly just picking up a uniform, learning the opening/closing procedures, playing with a timber rattlesnake, learning where the wedding reservation forms are, you know, the usual.

I don't have a pic of me with the timber rattler yet, but I'm sure I'll get one or two by the end of the summer. In place of that, here is a quick pano from our music night after training on Wednesday.

So after work on Saturday I drove home and then met up with Kevin in Chicago. Sunday I woke up and drove the rest of the 617 miles to Covenant Point Bible Camp for the start of practicum. No pictures yet, but it won't take long I'm sure.



PS: The Internet here at camp is more fickle than usual due to the large number of people using it. Accordingly so, I won't be able to upload any video and only smaller-sized photos until I get back. I will then upload normal sized photos and any videos I may have to show you. Sorry for the inconvenience.
