Hi Cathy, Were those "Crocs" I saw in your gear????? Are there any other specialized footwear you might need?

Haha!  Yes those are Crocs, you are very observant!  Actually we wear comfy and clean shoes in the lab.  After wearing the fashionable rubber knee-high boots, it's a pleasure to slip into the Crocs.  Unlike you, however, I don't know if I will be wearing them out in the snow! 
Enjoy your trekking - it's coming right up now!
