Wrapping Up - Post 21

Back home and watching the rain fall means that it's time for the final post of the work weekend.

The rain was a drag and made everything feel so bloody damp - but, there was no freezing through the night, so it was easily survived :-)

Because of the rain, we didn't get to do the Tweet & Treats hike around Gibraltar - so a few of the workers set up in the Research Building.  Downstairs in the ichthyology lab, we dissected a few perch (including plucking out their little hearts and placing them on our wrists to watch them continue to beat in time with our own pulses - weirdness) after hearing Chelsea give the brief class lecture they usually do as an outreach activity.

Upstairs in the lecture hall, we played with some snakes and viewed a handful of other local critters (salamanders & turtles) before hopping on the Gibraltar III and departing for the places we call home.

As always, it was a nice weekend spent on the Lake outside of tourist season while giving a little time to help out and support all that Stone Lab does for so many stakeholders.
