Quick Update

It's been a beautiful week in the forest so far. Cloudless skies and a temperature just under 70 most of the time, though dawn and dusk are a bit chillier. Many of the cedar trees are pollinating, and so everything we take into the forest gets dusted with a thin layer of yellow powder. Sometimes the monkeys bounce around in the trees and send up great yellow clouds of the stuff. It's fun to watch. I'm glad none of us have cedar allergies.

If everything goes according to plan, we're going to take the whole weekend off. It will be the first two days in a row we've taken off since we started. Not that forest work isn't fantastic, but I think we've earned some good r&r (another 12 hour day today.)

Sleep. Mmmm...
