I\u2019ve gotten to see so many different places around the Eagle Lake Field Office. It\u2019s been awesome! Last week, I went with my mentor Valda to the desert to check out some sites she\u2019s thinking of seeding winterfat (<em>Ceratoides lanata<\/em>) later on. The desert is such a breathtaking experience which many people don\u2019t take the time to appreciate.\u00a0 The amount of nothingness out there just takes your breath away. Then, this week I spent my workday on the other side of the field office on top of a mountain.\u00a0 My fellow intern and I went up Fredonyer Mountain to scout out potential Mountain Mahogany seed collection spots. Wow! The view from there was awesome. We stopped to have lunch overlooking Eagle Lake and seeing Mt. Shasta and Mt. Lassen in the background. We went up to the peak and met the couple who live in the lookout. The view from the lookout was even better. They pointed out all the major landforms to us and said even people who have lived in the area for a long time get turned around up there. \u00a0\u00a0They have been up there for 31 years. We couldn\u2019t believe it. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_33864\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dev-clm-blog.pantheonsite.io\/?attachment_id=33864\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-33864\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-33864\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-33864\" src=\"https:\/\/dev-clm-blog.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/IMG_0197-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/IMG_0197-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/IMG_0197-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/IMG_0197-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/IMG_0197-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-33864\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This is our lunchtime view from Fredonyer Mt.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">Yesterday we spent the day in the Skedaddle Mountains.

Some things have come back and others are yet to be seen.\u00a0 We hiked up on of the peaks to see the great view down below. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Calibri;\">Experiences and places like these make the long and sometime early workdays worth every moment.
