This week was off to a good start as I returned from the CLM Workshop feeling energized about the field work (and super happy to be away from poison ivy and ticks!).<\/p>\n

The view out the window as we begun the descent into Hobbs, NM. If you look close, you’ll catch the moon. Feelings were mixed… A return to a familiar place that isn’t quite home.<\/p><\/div>\n

Monday saw Linum allredii seed collecting, which required a healthy dose of hiking in terrain. I’m still trying to get used to the frequent changes in elevation as I’m from plains country, but the sights were spectacular.<\/p>\n

Trekking to the site<\/p><\/div>\n

View from atop a hill near the collection site. It was a few hours into the collection that I stopped to take in this landscape. Regret I didn’t pay attention sooner.<\/p><\/div>\n

Tuesday was an office day, familiarizing ourselves with our targets and where to find them, then scouting on Wednesday. That was where we came across this horse crippler…<\/p>\n

Today involved cross-training with the archaeology crew, which was pretty great. We hiked 8 miles along a fence line proposed for re-constructing. Temperature was 104F; the heat is reminiscent of home, so I like it. I tried to look for artifacts, but I mostly looked for plants… There were so many hills…<\/p>\n

Every hill we crested, the next was taunting us in the distance…<\/p><\/div>\n

Was admiring my favorite forb (Hoffmannseggia glauca) when I spotted a hopper pal doing the same.<\/p><\/div>\n

All in all, a great past couple of weeks. But Alex is tired and going back to Texas… At least for the weekend.<\/p>\n
