What's new?

Feb 4, 2008

Ok, so I haven't updated in nearly a year. Well. I have learned quite a bit about content management websites and intend to change over to a Drupal-based site as soon as I get the chance. That should make updateing easier. After a busy fall re-working the Friends of the Inyo website I am starting the busy season anew. My next trip is with Crossroads School, then some trips with Friends of the Inyo. Here comes spring!

Surprise Canyon trip

lower surprise canyonJust back from working a trip for FOI, up Surprise Canyon in the Panamint Range, with some intrepid volunteers. We spent a day pulling tamarisk, an invasive plant, and part of a day just exploring the area. This is one of those rarest of desert canyons, with an extensive riparian area and flowing stream. Access is easy - to a point. Once above the waterfalls which are low in the canyon, the stream is quite brush-choked and walking becomes a bit more of a patience-tester.

Many more photos can be found here and an extensive description of the place and its fascinating political history can be found within the FOI site here.
