I stationed myself up at one of the OPs for the day, and hung out in the back of the SUV in between sets of signals. The car practically shook with the force of the wind.
Drove back to the ranch house in the evening. The trip down is uncannily like the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland, what with the car lurching and bouncing as it hits rocks, grooves cut into the road by the rain. Geoff and I were joined for dinner by Vince, an older volunteer, ex-Navy. Vince regaled me with his stories, and handy tips for the job. He deemed me "worth keeping around." So that's good.
I woke up to the sight of this group of mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) grazing outside my window.
