I think my favorite thing about this internship so far has been coming to love the Great Basin desert! Growing up, when ever we had to drive through Nevada and Utah along I-80, I thought it was so ugly. Now, as we go out exploring every day, I fall more and more in love with everything out here! So much is alive!

I love getting to explore all over Utah and our district, and it is always so satisfying when we find a nice solid population of one of our target species!

Life is good!
