A mid-summer nights update

My internship is quickly coming to an end and after nearly 3 1/2 weeks of hiking, I am now back in Bozeman. I was home long enough to see my wife for 15 hours before she hopped on a plane and gave me a taste of my own medicine. I have only been home for about 3 of the last 10 weeks, but it was all for the love of science. Anyway, I had the chance to see some amazing sights and get to know a great group of students from across the U.S. Here are a few pics from Yellowstone Park and the Beartooth Mountains. There is a short video of one of the many black bears we encountered. Hope all is well wherever you may be reading this.
