On a BAER team...

We are officially planning the logistics for our trip to the Boundary Waters on the Superior National Forest. We will visit the Cavity Lake and Ham Lake fires to gather plot data. We're going to gather CBI (composite burn index) information at each plot to build up the existing database across the country of these plots.

I also will probably join the BAER team on the Neola North Fire on the south slope of the Uintas. Annette Parsons was called to be on the team and in speaking to her, I realized that this would be a great opportunity to be on an actual BAER team and learn the ropes of how things happen on that end. All I ever typically do is support the team from my cubicle and don't see the big picture very often. This should be a good opportunity. Looking forward to spending a few days up in Duchesne County.
