a few hours in the am, finished flat area east of marsh & worked on detail in the thicket...

kids fun run, paved 1km path. Jogged 4 loops - in chinos &light hikers.

finished up the first block (just under 0.2km total). Took a break, put another piece of mylar on the board and started another section further up along the S side of the map along I-84 toward the large marsh. Mostly getting the map and a few stonewalls situated accurately, then I'll go back and fill in the areas between. A little bland in the strip nearest the highway, should go really quickly, then into the laurel thicket. There's really just the one major laurel thicket on the map, but it has a number of light green areas in amongst the fight...

C • Laurel 4

commenced real fieldwork this am, nice day to be out, bit overdressed though.

aerials overlaid my field notes perfectly when I scanned them, so that helped boost the confidence. (I usually suffer a few days of uncertainty when starting a new project until I get into a groove). The area I started in has been changed since the basemap aerials were flown, so the basemap was a bit vague in some areas - but the newer aerials I overlaid matched my handrawn notes - cool....

I noticed that the town is redoing the front entrance to the park, including moving the drive and reconfiguring the lower parking area, so I'm going to leave that until last...

C • When can I schedule a meet? 2
