nature going digital thanks to google

I've seen a lot of unusual things but today was another "new" one that made me smile and wonder.  Out on the weekly horse patrol with Christopher, a young lady was coming toward us in the parking lot wearing this contraption seen below. Somehow I instinctively knew it was a "google camera" and indeed it was. She explained that she works for the Parks Conservancy and clearly some of their people strap these on to go hiking and "map" the trails in the National Parks. Who knew? The future is here.
