the big move

I just got a new job working for the US Fish and Wildlife Service in wildlife refuges across New Mexico. I start either July 13th or 19th. I will leave Ann Arbor and drive 3 days to Socorro, New Mexico to Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge. This refuge is an extremely famous stop for birding, and is an important point in migration patterns.

I actually don't know much about what to expect when I get there. I know I'll be moving around a lot to different reserves, and temporary housing will be provided. They hired 5 people, I think 1 leader and 4 crew members. We'll all be moving into a trailer together.... hahaha, I cannot wait for this. It is going to be some kind of dirtbag reality show.

New Mexico is covered in National Forests and other Federal Lands. I'm really excited and hope to spend my free time backpacking around and checking out everything in the state.

Hope I can make it home for the Haliburton Ultramarathon on 9/11 to push Alan across the finish line. We can't break up Team Mo and Bro.
