cycling 45:00 [1]
Biking to/from my campus mapping project 2x.
I spent an hour on the map in the worst of the heat, then went back out in the early evening and did another hour.
The project is a really small map (probably print scale of 1:1250). The area is 0.015 square kilometers. It is around Lindley Hall. They've recently completed two new buildings south and west of Lindley and east of Naismith. It should make an interesting little area for mini-orienteering. Part of what makes the area interesting are the boulders. They've placed about 30 boulders between the buildings. Each boulder has a sign next to it with some details about the rock, how old it is, and where it was from. The most exotic boulder being a basalt column from Inner Mongolia.
My base map is lidar, but from before construction + a plan of the area that I photographed. I'm having to redraw a bunch of the contours because the construction changed a lot of the hillside.
I've done all of the field work with OOM on a tablet (an old Kindle). I've got some drafting left, but I should be able to finish that up tomorrow.
Also, Mary and I explored the area yesterday, including wandering around inside of the largest of the new buildings. It would make a nice indoor orienteering venue.
