After telemetry we traveled to Rousch Creek to do netting. I did some netting with the Commander. We had a hike-in over boulders and mt. laurel while carrying about a 40lb bag of net poles. I was very proud of myself for not breaking an ankle or stopping to rest. I guess it is true that the tortoise wins the race. That night I caught my first big brown bat. They are one of the two species that everyone uses gloves for. That means that they bite... hard. Luckily I wasn't bit by either of the two I pulled out.
The next night I worked with Jason. The choice was another hike-in set up (for the second night) or to stay by the vehicle and have to set up by myself. I volunteered for the solo set-up. Jason went to hike with the other girls and told me to get started. As he was walking back I was admiring my handiwork. I finished the entire first net! He was surprised that I had finished it that quickly.
The picture on the top is of one half of a net. It is 30 ft. high.
