Things are coming to a close very quickly, with finishing up on seed collections and the final report. With only four days left in Montana, I already feel like I miss it. I&#8217;m excited to go home and begin my new job, but I&#8217;ll miss the community I had built for myself in Dillon. After living here for nearly six months, it was really feeling like home. Considering that I had never even been to Montana before moving here, I definitely struck gold! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also feel grateful to have worked with such an amazing crew at the Forest Service. Our mentor, Jessie, was so fundamental in giving us interns a well-rounded and engaging experience. I&#8217;ll miss going on camping trips with Riley, Joe, Jess, and Alex. I&#8217;ve saved my favorite photos from this season for this blogpost. Thank you for reading and keeping up with my posts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/me-camping-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91003\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/me-camping-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/me-camping-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/me-camping-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/me-camping-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/me-camping-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption>One of many camping trips in Maxville.

She&#8217;s doing quite well! We found a campsite back home, so she won&#8217;t have to move out of the camper. She&#8217;s pretty excited about that. Plus, there will be lots of trees and new birds for her to look at. She&#8217;s been begging me to change the channel on her &#8220;TV&#8221; (the window) for a while now, so hopefully this helps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"481\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/skatie_6-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-91011\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/skatie_6-1.jpg 481w, https:\/\/blog.clminternship.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/skatie_6-1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 481px) 100vw, 481px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s my last week on the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest.
