I have to go where for work?

Last week I was forced to go to the coastal town
of Mendocino for work related reasons. Yes, I was made to spend a day and a half walking around coastal prairie bluffs, coastal wetlands, beaches and worst of all I had to tour coastal dunes. As shown in the photo the weather was horrid.

I was stuck with a group of biologists and botanists who refused to stop discovering rare plants during the tour and wouldn't stop discussing coastal restoration issues.

When I finally had time to take a photo all of the European beachgrass in the background was dead due to restoration efforts. Uuggggghhh! Could my job get any worse?
