I got back yesterday from working on this dig. It was my first field school experience — but despite the fuckery that is tent-camping in central Texas midsummer, I can safely say I’ll be back every chance I get.
If anyone reading this needs a push to get involved with their local org: do it! Best decision I’ve ever made, and the best pool of people I’ve ever met.
The project was a beautiful reminder that even in rural Texas, there are plenty of unsung heroes out in the wild who dedicate their entire lives to building community and looking out for others.
