5 Weeks and Counting...

I'm a mere five weeks from Trip Number One as I think of it in my head. Two big plates to keep spinning -- data collection goals (what stats, what graphs, what figures), and field kit (why is it so hard to find a flexible measuring tape? how many data forms do I really need? how am I going to pack net and collapsible trap?).

I'm headed to Palo Verde National Park in Costa Rica -- not exactly the boonies but no car and can't rely on the gift shop to have missing pieces of gear. Trip Number Two will be easier.
