Glenn and I went to the Serpentine Barrens this afternoon, which Nadim had mapped earlier this year. What a pleasant surprise! Aside from a few well-mapped thorny areas, the woods are open and runnable. There's a near total absence of the usual ridges and reentrants. The contours are 2.5m and there are not too many of them. Boulders, reentrants, a few dry streams and ditches are pretty much what's on the menu. It was comfortable in the woods at 90 degrees. Interesting technical challenges.

I saw dozens of wood nymphs, which are known to inhabit serpentine barrens, one monarch, and one tiger swallowtail.
