Week 3 - 2

So today we (Tawnya, Michelle and I) took another (longer) trip to gather water samples. We went up to Washington actually - it took about 2-3 hours to get there give or take (the whole thing took about 8 hours). In addition to getting a hold of four new samples that should help Michelle learn more about the chytrid fungus she's studying, I was introduced to saltwater taffy which is apparently a bit of a coastal candy phenomenon. Anyways, I got some pictures of our sampling adventure:

Here's Michelle carrying a water sample from I believe our second destination:

Here's a nice scene of another one of our sampling locations.

Same spot as above:

Pretty fun day for me.
