Little Seneca Regional Park. With Peggy and Samatha gone, I had the whole day to make progress on the map. I started from Camp Seneca and went up the ridge so that I could come down a steeper part that I hadn't covered before. After that I did a lot in the valley below the big ridge and between the main creek. When I'd gotten south of the ridge, I found a small interesting area that had man made dot knolls, depressions and some earth walls. The bigger valley after that took a lot of work since neither LiDAR nor imagery showed the extent of streams and linear marsh delta. There were a few features with half the woods nice, and half not so nice. I mapped this complicated vegetation with GPS but still had to rely on handwritten note a lot to make sense of it. I got all the way to small cliffs and a stream where I'd stopped mapping last winter--the Bumble went more north and west of this area. It was nice to get so much done, but some more on this side of the creek, and all of the other side remain.
