This was a VERY remote site in the Chihuahuan Desert	Dr. Johnson (jeans) gives a tour with the station in the background.	He also helped us with plant identification	Then it was up to our class to collect data.
We opened pit-fall traps near the buildings	We also set rodent traps, identified lizards, watched for vultures, . . . .	. . . . and inventoried cactus	We also caught animal, such as this scorpion
Hector, a PhD student from UTEP helped identify things . . .	. . . . like this horned lizard	Processing mice that were captured takes time	A bunch of them were pocket mice
Anna even caught a palid bat, . . . by hand	Inside the new classroom building, Karen led the cooking crew . . . .	We sure enjoyed the food, and the shade offered by the building	Nathan & Anna entertained us when we had some quiet time.
