Short Description of Activity
Drove up Long Draw Road to the end and explored to find the campsites, evaluate them and record our findings. The sites had not been surveyed in 2021, because they were under snow. Other sites had been completed at that time. We found 1 new site and were able to dismantle a fire ring that had not been used. That site was too close to water (35′) and too close to the trail (25′).
Reflection/Evaluation
The site names were changed on our location map. So we had to figure out what name to use, and make sure we were in the right place. Anne sent a table of old and new names to Kevin Cannon to make sure we were continuing the correct data, as it is important for determining trends.
