Getting in the mood...

That time again

Approaching Thanksgiving week.  In even-numbered years, that means the Subtropical Ecology field trip is on tap.  We depart tomorrow.  Two vans, two utility trailers, 16 students, and two faculty headed for Paynes Prairie, Lake Okeechobee, Fakahatchee Strand, and points beyond.  The goal tomorrow is reach St. Marks, which was the ultimate destination of our September trip.  This time, it's a stopover on our way to Gainesville.  Friday morning at the Florida Museum of Natural History, then on to Paynes Prairie that afternoon. 

I'll be posting some updates and photos.  If all goes well, my graduate students will be posting to a blog of their own, located at Pines, Palms, and Panthers.  They're still figuring things out, so expect a few sideways images.

Wish us luck.
