SLEEPING WITH FIRE

Last night, after an hour of snowshoeing I returned to the cabin and sat down in front of a purring fire with my book. In order to get an even coat of heat, I had to slowly turn and turn and turn my body like some rotisserie chicken on a spit. After much turning, I fell asleep.



Today we dissected owl pellets and I was fortunate enough to find the remains of a pocket gopher (Genera Geomyidae)! I have attached a picture for your viewing pleasure. As you can see I put an airplane in the picture, you know, as a point of reference. Look at the crazy little claws in the lower right hand corner!
