The goal of the SCA/USFWS Trails Inventory program is to provide the Fish and Wildlife Service with a comprehensive and accurate inventory of all trails on USFWS sites across the country. This is certainly an ambitious project as there are over 600 USFWS sites nationwide. This project will take us to every corner of the country, to high mountains and low deserts through bayous and fjords. We are all extremely excited for this opportunity as it provides the chance to perform an important service to the USFWS, expand our own knowledge and expertise, and experience many different parts of the country for the first time.
Hitch 1, Texas
It’s nice to be back in Boise, coming back from the Gulf Coast of Texas. The weather down there was a nice change from the weather here in Boise with highs in the 80s and lows in the 60s. We had an opportunity to stay at a National Seashore called Padre Island which was very nice and teeming with wildlife. All in all we visited 9 Wildlife Refuges where we saw alligators, snakes, armadillos, and feral hogs. In addition we visited both Austin and San Antonio. We all agreed that Austin was our favorite part of Texas. It is rich with Texan history and was a very fun experience overall. We are all looking forward to our next hitches and the adventures they will bring.
