This is my first post a a CBG Intern. I am interning at the Buffalo Field Office in Buffalo Wyoming where I have been a BLM Archaeological Technician for the 3 previous seasons. This is my first winter in the office. Being from North Carolina, it is strange to say this, but compared to past winters in Wyoming it is freakishly mild. We have had temperatures averaging in the high 40’s and low 50’s for the past several weeks, which in the typically tundra-like Great Plains this isn’t the way things should be. I hate to complain but I would like to have some nice snow to XC ski on and thick ice to fish on, but alas I will have to deal with floating rivers and fishing in a tee shirt. As far as work goes I am doing a great deal of database entry and work in the file room until the Plains are completely free of snow drifts. I can not do archaeological survey with 100% confidence unless the ground is completely bare. The old snow drifts out there will remain untill the nights stay above freezing. Thus it is office work for me for a while.
