Mounds SRA. An inch or two of snow on top of a thin sheet of ice made the going treacherous. Saw a pileated woodpecker very close, a wild turkey and a flock of bluebirds. But the best sighting of the day was a gorgeous native gray fox that came trotting past. Big and healthy looking, at first glance I thought it was a coyote. But got a very good look as it went by.

Snow removal. More later.

Event: OCIN / TROL - Hisey Park
 

Red course set by Stryder at Hisey Park using portions of the area we have not seen before. Lots of honeysuckle but otherwise a challenging course.

Burning prairie. Controlled burn. Mostly standing and watching, but some occassional intense fire-rake work to prevent break-outs.

C • "Controlled" burning? 4

Picked up the remaining pads from the declining score O at UC. Figured I could put them back together and reuse (that ought to please Chicago Clark). Only one had blown away or been picked up and was not recovered.

By the way, Clark will again be pleased that the original pads were made from recycled scrap - misprinted and discarded cover stock from the copy shop's recycle bin.

Took me about 26 minutes to go around the course, then ran back and spent a couple minutes circling the missing control site to see if I could locate the pad, but no success.

Setting up declining score O training exercise at Union County Schools. Made a few minor map updates in the process.
