| National Bike to Work day. Should have ridden the bike, eh? Had my biking stuff set out this AM, but the forecast for this afternoon looks pretty bleak, so I opted out. Now that I'm at work I'm feeling guilty about not riding. |

| Fieldwork (Crandalls) 3:30:00 [1]*** | |
| shoes: Puma Sierra Trail Racers |
| more mapping, coming along nicely, got a few more holes to fill in, then time to clean up some rough spots. Should have a workable course setters map by next week.
Then lots of hours drafting, including catching up on some old field notes I hadn't finished drafting as well as drafting in the OOB sections from the basemap (no field checking). Had to overlay the latest Google Maps satelite photo in one section as there's an entire development that wasn't on the aerials/basemap. But we knew that was out of bounds before we started.. |

| Played hookey and went for a bike ride with Ellen today. Went down to East Hampton and checked out the western end of the Airline South Rail Trail. Nice slow pace, gorgeous day. Nice big owl flew overhead and landed in a tree near the trail just before the Lyman Viaduct. (not my photo)
Only rode 5.5 miles out then turned around to come back. Ellen's not used to riding a bike and we needed to make sure to leave enough time to go to Harry's Place in Colchester for lunch before heading home. Chocolate Shake and a couple of cheeseburgers - yummy...
Saw a really fine coyote just south of the main entrance to Gay City on the way home too...
Mapping tomorrow... |
