In Search of Jade Mountain...

Some of my project partners and I went on a hike Sunday (our day off)...originally planning to hike a "mountain", across the lake from the camp, called Jade Mountain, we predictably got lost and never made it...

Some Particularly robust Parrya we discovered on the hike.

see...even science geeks catch a little air every now and then.

The reason for our hasty return...attack of the mosquitoes.

Tundra bugs are HUGE and quite aggresssive....but we lived to tell the tale...and now i must go sleep...we've got a long day tomorrow playing with flowers...buenos noches amigos.
