Time has flown by; the last 10 months have been jammed pack with various forms of experience. This experience involved weed mapping, range assessments, drought monitoring, fire monitoring, sensitive species monitoring, herbarium management, native seed collections, various trainings and data management. While working in Nevada we ran into many interesting things, these many interesting things proved that Nevada is random. Here are a few examples:

An old building from an abandoned farm.

An old miners cup found at an old site.

A tree carrying a heart that was carved into it a long time ago.

Sometimes while working you find yourself in the middle of Fire Suppression practice.

Just another vehicle on the road… an armored vehicle.

A full belt of bullets that was discarded and still rests under an Artemisia.

In the middle of nowhere there is a random hot spring.

A random red gate that pops out of nowhere.

These are only a few of the random things that Nevada provided. Nevada definitely became a wonderful source of entertainment while we worked. Thank you  Nevada.
