Day 3 – 9th April – 2:00 pm

Blisters on my right toe. Nina sits and draws a mysterious hole on a rock. It’s extremely hot today around 29c. Clear skies but clouds are gathering toward the west.
I haven’t seen very many birds, which makes me slightly anxious. We all seem to be adjusting to the dry climate, wished I had brought some lip ice from home. Been enjoying my chats with Robert about the stars he seems to know a lot about astrology, Nina and I listen to him with eager ears.

29c Clear Skies.

Day 4 – 10th April 3:45pm

Our pace has slowed today everyone one is staying near base camp as our research and projects have become clearer in this unfamiliar setting. Nina and I have spent some time away from the others gathered around our collective specimens discussing them further. Tomorrow we need to try map the flow of water down into the valley. Emily has assured us that there will be some rain tonight. I keep thinking about what Micheal said about the wolves, we have not seen any yet but I hope we do soon. Nina keeps looking at her compass.

24c Partly cloudy.
