Today some of the groups switched members to give us experience doing different projects. I spent the first few hours with one of the archaeology groups (they split into two today). We looked at some rock walls running vertically from the cliffs down toward the ocean. I have no idea what purpose the walls would have served. There were a lot of them spaced about two hundred feet away from each other. It was on a steep slope with lots of vegetation, but there were a few cow trails to follow.

After that we returned to our base camp, had lunch, and watched some people from a local aerospace company launch one of their UAVs. Here is a link to a video of one of the  launches: http://www.mediafire.com/?14zhqj60vmtdpvq    There was a less successful launch of one of the UAVs later in the afternoon…

Most of the hydrology work is done, except for the processing and organizing. James gathered most of what we had left while I was with the archaeology group, and I found where the water of the main channel resurfaces after the dry area.

After being in the hot humid field most of the group took a trip to get shaved ice. It was delicious. 🙂
