From July 6th-September 18th, I am backpacking in the Eastern Sierras with UCSB grad student, Tom Smith. I am his research assistant/sherpa for his dissertation work with alpine lake algae and the declining, mountain yellow-legged frog populations. We will be based out of the Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Lab (SNARL), just south of Mammoth Lakes, CA. I'm using this blog to share my summer experience with everyone...

Feedin' an army!
Planning for 70 days of eating in the backcountry is far from easy. This is just the start, and I'll definitely be re-stocking along the way. Ridiculous amounts of trailmix, dried fruit, granola + dry milk, PASTA + red sauce mix, quinoa, Clif protein bars, oatmeal, peanut butter, jelly, quinoa, mashed taters, salame, textured vegetable protein, couscous, tortillas, instant brown rice, tea + cocoa, vitamins, jerky, pretzels......i got it all.
