Fort Sherman Round 2

I had been to Fort Sherman my first weekend in Panama. This past week we went back with for one of our classes to actually use the crane! This construction crane is 52m tall with a 50 m radius and has been set up by the Smithsonian as a tool for researchers to get up and above the canopy. The view from the top is stunning, as you are given three-dimensional access to the forest.
