Interested in reading the TR!

Interested in reading the TR!

not until the semester ends as I'm way too busy to even work on most of the pictures.
But it was a really cool trip and definitely a lot more fun than sitting in a regular lab.

[Artemus]

Bob, you poseur! You told me you weren't going to that well this year. You and @Scott Chandler..,, working outside and sleeping under the stars. Wonder when @River is going to drop his huge total on us. I'll bet @DAA is going camping the rest of the year now with new competition.

Nice pic! I don't see any deer...

 

[Bob]

Saw deer....... had pity and let them run by....

I think can do a few more nights still....
Good thing I wasn't here in 2011.....had about 100 nites out under the stars..

 

[DAA]

I'll bet @DAA is going camping the rest of the year now with new competition.

I think I'm done for the foreseeable future.

Good thing Tipi Walter isn't competing, he's been averaging 300 nights/year for decades. Lucky guy, he is. He runs around in GSMNP
