  Plans they are a'changin'. I am now no longer taking a road trip to Idaho solo, I have decided to meet up with a fellow team leader in Montana and take a road trip with her.
She is staying on a Crow Indian reservation and they are having a pow-wow over July 4th weekend so the festivities will begin there. After that we are heading to South Dakota to see the Black Hills, Mt. Rushmore, and the Badlands. Then onto North Dakota to see the Theordore Roosevelt National Forest. After that we will hopefully make it to Glacier National Part in Montana and if we make it there we will probably make it to Idaho for a quick scenic drive.
Needless to say I am very excited! The team has decided (democratically) on what the new assignments will be once we get back from vacation. I will be working with the archeologist working on some excavation - imagine that! A real live anthropologist! Actually including myself there are three anthroplogy majors on the team - which is weird because one does not commonly find anthropology majors growing out of the woodwork. More proof that I live in the twilight zone.
