I am having a sign made for Pepe Station so all visitors know the story.

Interior of station

Rebekah shared that when we had to catch our flight, everything left was crammed in Pepe station. Today she organized what she could. We still have instruments to connect and more but it went from being a hot mess to an organized and consolidated space.

Thank you, Rebekah and Pepe. I love seeing pepe at pepe station

He is 9. He loves going to Bob’s Orchard to roll around in filth left by deer and wild animals, hates baths, and has a crew of pups that he is found of at his baby sitters: Luna, Baby Duke, and sweet pea, two terriers and a schnauzer. Together they fight crime in the back yard and run the fence.

Jackson is 17 breeds of love. 39% Chihuahua, followed by: terrier, chow, dachshund and more. He is a beautiful specimen. Although he loves treats a little too much and the friends at his park indulge him when I am not looking. He does well with cats and most digs, but possums make him growl.

Desert weather station

old camera reset and remounted. Temporary but glad to see the front of the weather station

The alarms went off and behold this truck appeared over the hill. Much respect for Rebekah. She took time off to visit family and off-road community, and completed some upgrades and maintenance to her truck; now she is back at the weather station to finish and to help out. So grateful!

Jackson Earth Restoration Project Welcome to Jackson Earth Restoration Research Center We are about to do something amazing.

Christmas Day, another visit, this is a very quick 2 day trip to try and get some things back on track. In the meantime, I have added the “pizza box” instructions on fixing the soil - by April next year, we should see changes on camera. Click the instructions link jacksonerp.org/transplant-p...

@annamerlan.bsky.social I am telling the tale of my journey on my page. 160 acres of trees to plant / every tree is dedicated to a person who needs remembering and honored. Using science, peer reviewed papers, hacks, tips, and innovation we are growing trees in an unlikely place. Hope you stop in.

A couple of Ravens have been hanging out. They are known as Watchers and the Messengers:

In the Arizona desert, the raven is seen as a guardian of the landscape and a bearer of ancient knowledge, not from books, but from the natural world.

Kind of cool that they have an interest in what we do.

Haha. he would not mind

Play time

I wonder how these people at Fox sleep at night or see themselves in the mirror each day. Do they believe what they are saying or do they just lie for kicks and cash?
