2012 Grouse Crew

It’s been a whirlwind week or two, but the season is over! We’ve run our final experiments (or not), recorded our last sounds, and wished our wonderful crew safe journeys as they head towards their next employments. Gail, Anna and I have a few more days here in Lander to pack up our gear and dodge the cows that will be here any day now, but otherwise we’ve collected all of the blinds, stakes and cables. I’ll have more thoughts to share on the season in upcoming posts, but for now a big Thank You to Liz, Becca, Julia, and Mel. We had a great season and it was in large part to their hard work and that they were fun people to be around (always an important thing in a small camp like ours).

The photo is one of our crew photos from “Mount Boob,” a rather mammerific hill near camp that seemed a fitting place to take a photo with an all female crew. (Thanks Stacie Hooper for snapping the shots). Gail bought the crew t-shirts with a “roller girl” imagining of the fembot, and they are all wearing them in the photo.
