Day 10: Caving it

June 20, 2012

Today we went to the same palace place as yesterday to get some aerial imagery and take some GPS points, the way we took the aerial imagery was pretty cool we put up a kite and a fixed wing plane to continually take pictures of the area.  We are going to have to end up making a mosaic of the images and then orthorectify the pictures so that they match up with all other images and have a reference system, I’m pretty excited about this and I believe that we are going to do that tomorrow.

Aside from taking the images we also went to check out a cave system that Burney has studied and found many different fossils in.  I think it’s super cool that, that cave has all this history just locked up in it and he’s out there unlocking it.  It’s insane!  It’s also cool that he found a species of duck in there that wasn’t even known.  Big ups to him.

Sorry about not having pictures, I didn’t want my camera to be rained on.  Lates!
