The day right before spring break was a blast! My mentors
and my SSTEM peer Lucas traveled through Dreamy Draw for a nice, early hike. We
saw some pretty interesting insects, including a Gila monster. We found some
nice Cylindropuntia bigelovii
populations and we were able to collect some spines for my DNA extraction. I
wish more people had gone to experience what a great time we had. I was pretty
worn out by the end of the trip and wanted to crash out. It was all worth it
though since I had gotten the spines I needed.
Here is a video of us finding the Gila monster:
