So on my recent trip to Maine, to see Rissa, I decided to make a cake. Aly has suggested that I should see if anyone can guess which cake I made.
So was it Cake A...
or Cake B... ?????

And does anyone know what this British Cake is called????

Hi, all --
So the big news on our end is that Kelsey just was selected for his dream job, working for the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife as the Game Bird Biologist in the Bird Group. Things are changing fast; we just moved to Bangor, Maine and are looking to purchase a little Earth-friendly bungalow somewhere out in the woods. Sadly, Kelsey probably won't make it out to Shoup for very long this season, though Ray and I will definitely be about for much of the season.

Even more exciting -- we've been learning about remnants of the Laurentide Ice Sheet that may still exist in Maine (from, like, the last Ice Age -- yeah, Maine!) as active "rock glaciers" (i.e. they still exist because they've been buried under loads of talus on steep north-facing slopes). We always knew our home state was the coolest.

I'll be submitting our Shoup "field report" to Earthwatch within the next day or two, so I'll keep everyone posted on how to access it once it's made public. It contains only preliminary results, but the KIMU stuff especially is looking pretty exciting. Andrew has agreed to head up the KIMU report writing, so that's in the works as well.

Keeping this short! Welcome, and please write ...

I’m bummed that the GoogleEarth image of Shoup Bay seems not to have been taken on a day during our field season, as none of our brightly-colored tarps are visible, nor any of our boats. Looks like maybe they took it in late August – I wonder if there is a way to check the date? The portion with the glacier looks like it is from this season, if that crap in front of it is land and not oddly-colored ice.

Welcome to our Shoup Bay field crew blog!

We are hoping to use this to keep past, present and future field crew members up to date with news from Shoup. This may include extracts from the Outhouse Journal, pictures and anything else we can think of.

The blog also means that you now have no excuse to not keep in touch and write some of those 'only from an outhouse' pearls of wisdom.

Happy 2008!

Alex
