Then we head back to camp early since there's two days worth of mud to sieve. Randall shows us how to use the stack of sieves to filter the mud into large and small components. Pretty soon we're covered in mud. The sieves are weighed to get the proportion of different sized particles, and a sub-sample is bagged to go back to Texas for detailed analysis.
For dinner I'm presented with a squash. Not something I've ever eaten before. It's very sweet, and that's unusual for a main course dish. Rebecca and Lori are concerned that I don't like it, but if I didn't like it I wouldn't eat it. My mother knows that.
There's deep philosophical conversation until very late. It's nearly midnight when we all crawl back down from the cabin to the tents and get some sleep.
