The past couple of weeks here in Buffalo have been pretty neat. BLM is reclaiming some unpermitted dams (Such as the little puddle seen below) on public lands due to their ability to provide breeding ground to mosquitoes, which in turn spread West Nile Virus to sage grouse. This ground disturbing activity requires cultural clearance. During the course of this fieldwork we have not located much in the way of cultural resources, however we did find one site which we had to test for buried deposits (AKA dig some holes in some really compacted Wyoming Soil, Seen below). These holes were negative, thus damn reclamation may continue.

Otherwise, I did some playing on BLM lands on the weekends where it is very pretty. I saw a dipper nest. Dippers are the coolest bird by the way.

I am going to Santa Fe for Metal Detecting training this weekend. That will be neat.
