So I haven’t posted the last few days because I have been really sick with a bad sinus infection… Not fun couldn’t breath well and couldn’t sleep at all. So I missed all of conference due to that and a blizzard on Sunday. I picked up some over the counter stuff which has helped me so much to breath and sleep. I just wish it would go away all together now.
So we got the explorer out on Saturday morning. It only took us an hour to get it out we just dug around it a bit and pushed it out. The original plan which took part of the time was to drive Tyler’s truck in a bit and winch it out. He could only get halfway in before he started to sink in so we were too far to winch it out so that is when we decided to just push it out and it worked!! Brian is such an awesome boss, he never got mad about any of it! He did tell me on the way out to it that if we couldn't get it out we would just light it on fire and say some one stole it!
Dustin started to work with me yesterday; he will be working with me the rest of the summer. We went and did some lek counts and then went in to town to get our communications gear in our explorer fixed. Then it was off to Meeker, which is about 50 miles away, so he could meet Brian. Well Brian’s kids were sick so he wasn’t there so then drove back home.
Today did some more lek counts saw about 27 males on one lek and seven on another lek. Then I buried the explorer in a snow drift on the way to try to get to the last lek that we thought we might be able to make it to. That took about 30 mins to dig out but we got out again. Oh well happens this time of year. Then we drove to Meeker to try and see Brian again and the plan was to then go get a ATV in Grand Junction. Yeah, well we did see Brian but did not get to go to Grand Junction so that means we get to drive to Meeker tomorrow to pick it up once it arrives in the morning. I love driving to Meeker everyday! Haha, that’s life no ones fault just the way things work out!
We do get to start searching for White-tail Prairie Dogs after we finish Sage Grouse in the mornings. Well maybe anyway it is suppose to snow a bunch at least thru Friday. So they won’t be very active. Hopefully the weather dries up soon, there are about 30 leks we can’t get to until it does. It can rain or snow for that matter in May, whatever it wants! We just need a few weeks of dry and sunny!
Still missing Raquel and waiting for August! Well that’s all for now! Hope all is well with everyone!
