This month has gone by fast! The Rocky Mountain Research Station has been busy this month! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since my last post, I have been busy traveling for seed scouting. One of the research station’s techs, Marguerite, joined me on a seed scouting trip. We are completely focused on Eriogonum umbellatum, <\/em>and we went looking up by Council, Idaho. We went to this neat lookout with an amazing view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While we were searching for ERUM, we came across something pretty cool! We left it alone, but it was a neat find!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, Elric and I went out to Nevada with another one of the RMRS techs, Bebe! We had a great time searching for ERUM in northern Nevada. This was during the tropical storm warning, but we lucked out and never hit rain once. We found wonderful places to camp and explore, and we saw some gorgeous sunsets and stunning alpine lakes! We also collected one population of ERUM, and are going back in the future when the plants are seeding to collect from two more populations!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elric and I went to explore South Mountain (in the Owyhees in Idaho) in search of ERUM. We found a ton of Eriogonum heracleoides<\/em>, but unfortunately no ERUM. We stopped at a neat lookout and had a nice time exploring the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To end August, a forest service tech Joe and I went to explore Steen Mountains in Oregon! This trip was grand. Steen Mountains has a 60 mile loop road that is accessible for most cars (washboards but no potholes), and is 100% worth the trip. We found ERUM all over this range, and in the high elevation site it was still blooming! Joe and I had a nice time exploring the area, and we woke up one morning and realized it was in the 20s while we were sleeping (brr). After a successful seed collecting trip, we traveled back to Boise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
