A Little More Info

It is my first real day here in Wasco and I am oh so tired. Yesterday I called my field supervisor and he told me to meet him in Walla Walla at 9 am. This means I have to get up at 5 am (you all know that's my bedtime not wake up time) so I have time to shower, eat and fill up on gas. When I get there proptly at 9 my supervisor is in a meeting and has no idea why I am there. Long story short my field supervisor was in the field when I called and thought I was someone else so there was no reason for me to be there. However, I did get to talk to them a little and they gave me a map of the turbines I will be working at and he told me a little more of the project. Basically West Inc. performed an environmental evaluation of the area a few years ago, the turbines were built and now I will be performing an environmental impact study of the area. Not too complicated but necessary. Anyway, I have a picture of the hotel I am currently staying in and one of the building next door but for some reason I can't upload them right now. I will find out what the building is and get a few more pictures of the town, that can be walked in 5 minutes, later but right now I need to take a nap. Yes Gramma I am somewhat near the Falls, aproximately 30-45 mins. east. I am about 15 mins. from the Columbian River, which I incidentally saw a Bald Eagle on today. If that last sentence didn't make a lot of sense please excuse me as I nap.

Don't you just love how people are so good at communicating? At least you got there in one piece, I'm glad. It will be good to get the experience doing environmental impact reports, too.

I would have hated having that happen.. have a brownie sundae to make up for it. I would.

I went to Subway and got a pastrami sandwich on the way back. :)

M-m-m-m-m Pastrami and Swiss on Rye
Even better is corned beef and sauerkraut and swiss on rye. I'm so hungry and I just finished my breakfast. Did you hear about our snow flurries here. I envy your adventure. I cherish the memories I have of going out in the field with my Dad doing surveys. Since I was the grunt I always had to carry the stakes.
