Field trips

One thing I like most about this internship is being able to go on field trips. On July 25, I went to the site of the San Andreas Fault with other students in the internship. It was a hot day, and there didn't seem to be much birds, while flies were everywhere. The warning signs around the site warned about mountain lions, coyotes, rattlesnakes, and ticks, but I didn't find any of them. Maybe because of the day light heat. I followed the guide down and up long, winded trails. I almost fell down a very steep slope, but with the help of Eric and the encouragement of other people behind me I survived. I felt as if I have accomplished something great when I finished that path.
