Don’t get me wrong.  My fellow intern and I are doing a lot of useful work.  For instance, these last few weeks we have finished one entire fuels reduction project, completely designed the inventory scheme for another, completed over 30 inventories for said project, received  UTV training, and managed a trip to Fort Collins.  In short, things are really picking up in our work-load as we have over 100 more inventories to complete before our time here is up, two additional projects helping area foresters in the next month, and a trip to Yellowstone planned.  I never knew going into this internship I would be learning so much and having such a good time.  I think this may be my shortest blog post yet, but hey, there are pictures!

Breathtaking Badlands

I want to call these the sherbet mounds. That sounds official to me.

You never know what you’ll run into on BLM property. I little of this, a little of that, a little 100 year-old homestead.

Give me an L! L!

Deciding the fate of trees with some paint. They give us a lot of power as foresters.

This is the life…the hot, dry life.

Has anyone been to Wall Drug near the Badlands? You need to go and ride this ridiculous Jackalope!
