A Week of Mapping

I took another of those working vacations last week and managed to map 7 days out of 10 before the 4th of July holiday. Lots more pictures on the photo page. I worked the area west of Flat Rock Road out to the under-construction visitor center, which is about a kilometer away. I worked north to the powerline and the logging road that is being used for access by the construction crews. The new park road bisects this area.

Lots of boulders and bare rock in a continuation of the band from east of Flat Rock Road. It runs out to the southwest, of course, just like before.

An advantage of being out there during the week, instead of on the weekends like usual, was that I was able to see some of the construction on the new park road. I peeked out from the trees, of course - I don't think anyone ever saw me. I have permission to be there, but I did not want to disturb anyone or get in the way. Here's a concrete pumper getting ready to pour a footing for a culvert:

Very interesting to see. One day that swath of destruction will be a beautiful park entrance road.

The next area I will work will be north of the park construction, down in the floodplain. Maybe things will go a little faster without the ever-present rock to contend with.
