Well Tonopah has been pretty fantastic so far. Training took FOREVER but we are finally starting to get to the grit of things. At least a little bit. This week we have been doing district cleanup while Mark is moving his family from Utah but hopefully by the end of the week we will be back in the field recording sites. We drive about an hour and a half to site everyday but at some point it is going to be longer. The majority of the drive is done on dirt roads which is pretty awesome. Time flies when you have to watch out for boulders and drop-offs. :) Speaking of, on the first day I was driving the truck--trucks are HUGE by the way, at least compared to my little Ford Escort. Anyway so I was driving the truck back from site and was doing ok until BANG! POP! (except mucho, mucho louder). I'm not used to the width of the truck and so I was trying to avoid this very big rock but it hit the tire wall and took out a fairly good chunk out of the tire. Everyone was really nice about it but I do claim the first flat of the season. Kudos to me. :)
Well everything is going great and there will be updates to follow! At some point I will also post some video and pictures. Yep, yep.
