Forest Service Station: Non Forest Service

The most fun I've had as a scientist was the time I operated a 'cherry picker' truck to lift a colleague and I up to the top of some pine trees. We were trying to collect some gases emitted from pine needles. The truck was the type you might see a technician use to reach telephone lines. We stood cramped together inside the 'bucket' with our scientific equipment. It was hilarious. But the view from the tree tops was great.
