and so it begins....

i'm here in willcox, az, outside a motel with free high speed wireless internet and i'm downloading some GIS software to use on our trips out in the field. my p.i. (primary investigator) is a real person, he's very nice, and i think we'll get along great.

so we're going to camp out at the chiricahua national monument tonight, and for tomorrow, who knows?

i think i can finally relax now.
