Make some phone calls about lodging (for eight?!) in the Aberdares. One lodge is full, the other is uber $$$. Track down another lodge that looks promising. Work on progress report but get waves of nausea and stomach cramps throughout morning. Hits every 20 -30 minutes and then passes. Some folks get back from the field and we make the lodge reservation (Tusk Lodge located in the Aberdare National Park), making the trip official! Spend the afternoon doing some lab work. Rumors of wild dogs around the station, and head out with a few folks to see if we can find them. Almost immediately see three spotted hyenas clearly on the trail of something (they’re often found following wild dogs on their hunts). Come across a very strong dead smell, but no dogs. After dinner feel a bit feverish and head to bed early.
