School Starts, Brain Plays Catch Up

I'll spare all of you the boring details, but this semester has me backed up against the ropes and is continuously hitting me below the belt. It's not all calculus and physics though; I was able to join a small research group that has a team of us hiking a different peak each Sunday for the next 5 weeks. Last week I went up Sacagawea Peak in the Bridgers and this coming Sunday we're headed to the Spanish Peaks south of Bozeman. We're taking pics of geologic features and marking their locations in order to build an informational website for hikers. Now everyone that hikes one of these trails will actually know what they're walking on and through. That is all---back to the books for now...............................
