The powers that be waved their magic wand and I'm now considered an essential government employee! That means back to work tomorrow after being laid off for nearly a month and a half. To be honest I really don't mind starting up again. I wasn't very enamored about sitting at home with nothing to do half the time. One really nice thing about being off was that it gave me the chance to visit some places I've wanted to go to for a long time. I learned there is still a lot of stuff out there. Perhaps it's not too rare or valuable, but it's well worth climbing the hills to experience searching in the wild for it. The following pics are of a local hunt.
