Well, I'm in Colorado now working for the government. It's nothing that special, it's actually the USDA Forest Service, no FBI or anything. That doesn't mean it isn't interesting, but at least it deals with my niche of archaeology. The government definately has different methods in handling field work and data, I'm going to have to get used to it as I will be working with them until mid-Fall. To be honest, I don't think they evaluate data or sites as much as they should, and being that the work of archaeology is destructive, I think they might as well work on their research as much as possible and evaluate the data in the field to the max.
That's all I have for now, except that I am extremely lonely up here. They moved me into an RV in the mountains, it's gorgeous, but I have no one to share it with. I have no contacts or friends up here, and I don't exactly work with people within my generation. I don't even get cell-phone service up here. In a way it's a good challenge for me being isolated, but that doesn't mean I like it. In fact it just reminds me of how much I miss my friends at my alma mater - Missouri State, and at home in Texas......sooooo depressing. It's going to be a long haul for sure, but I know I can make it.
Ryan over and out....
