Some Adventuring

I may not be a huge fan of living in California, but gotta say, I am planning on abusing the gorgeous privilege of living here until mid-November. My goal for the rest of this season is to go someplace new at least twice a month (preferably more though). This last weekend I hikes the Loch Levens trail in the Lake Tahoe basin, and two weeks ago did some exploring around the American River from the Auburn Recreation Area.
Pretty fantastic stuff right there. (Also a neat announcement at the bottom of the post!)

And awesome announcement time: a paper I co-authored is getting publishing this month in Herpetological Review, woot!!
