So last Thursday we climbed up to Dian Fossey’s gorilla graveyard, which took about 2 hours. It was a great hike and we saw a lot of buffalo tracks…but no buffalo. During our climb a lone silverback ran across the trail, but it was so far ahead that I didn't see much.

I forgot I wanted to mention that about a week ago I was able to survey an area where they house confiscated orphan gorillas. They're kept in this quarantine facility before they can hopefully be rehabilitated back into wild groups. I mostly saw the eastern lowland gorillas and one mountain gorilla. These photos are of the oldest lowland gorilla in the orphan facility…she’s soon going to be released into the wild. As I left I noticed one of the gorillas playing with a huge shovel…and it was nicer than the ones we have here.

Oh and this is where I've been working most of the time...out of a large brick garage.
