So here I am, not exactly picking up where I left off. For the last 4 years (2023 will be my 5th), I have chronicled my fiel...

@mtratcliffe, Hiking out in the desert is much different than here if you've yet to do it. Very dry heat so you don't get exhausted as fast. White Sands was gorgeous, we didn't hike too far but climbing over those dunes can be really straining.
