My dad hung out on the trail running along this part of the bay, and I radioed(1) my measurements back to him for data recording purposes. There were more than a few Major Tom moments (ooh this one is cool!), but it more or less worked, and I didn't get my dad stuck in the mud again.

ReplyDeleteA few questions:
- Is all that mud giving you the softest ankles ever?
- Certainly there must be some footwear in this day in age to combat the mud suck? Something snow shoe-esque perhaps?
- Do your hands really stay clean enough for accurate radioing?
- Is your car filled with horrible mud or do you have some sort of elaborate tidying up/hosing down process?
