Seneca Creek State Park, Lake Clopper Area, MD. I started from Riffleford Rd. and worked my way along Great Seneca Hwy. between Long Branch, and Seneca Creek. This was not difficult terrain but I had some trails to add and a lot of point features. I spent a while trying to map out a small marsh but I decided later that it will be better on paper to make it more general. I covered some interesting flood plain. There were some long parallel ditches that had depressoins along the way. Most of the terrain was quite nice but leaves will be coming out soon. I lost track of time and ended up being late for a lunch with my parental family.

Physical Therapy restistance workout with polymer bands. I also got the usual ultrasound, massage, stretching, and electrostimulation. I have been noticing increased flexibility of my shoulder. On the downside, I've been having more backpain and foot numbness on my left foot. It was nice that the rain had finally stopped.

I did some arm work to stretch out my shoulder. Other treatments were similar but not so harshly done--electro stimulation, ultrasound, massage stretching.

From Northfield Rd. to the Bethesda Metro Station. I knew this would be the best day of the week but I wasn't prepared to try to run. I got busy instead.

From the Bethesda Metro Station to Northfield Rd. I missed a physical therapy appointment.

Seneca Creek State Park, Lake Clopper Area, MD. I started from Riffleford Rd. and worked my way over toward the disc golf course. I had wanted to finish getting the vegetation colors in some places and cover more of the slopes that I'd missed getting to earlier. I never really made it there, instead covering other ridges with the most open forest that I'd been in in a long while. There was deadfall and low vegetation in some of this but in general this area was a pleasure to map and go through. I have a lot more to do. I could have used more hours.
