The sign at the southeast corner of the preserve's north tract is showing its age and the inevitable effects of having a southern exposure even though there is some shade to moderate the effects on the suns's rays.
I was wondering whether a new sign might be considered in a future budget to make the place look a little less neglected.
I was out documenting a couple of patches of mistletoe, checking to see whether lupine seedlings had begun popping up--they had not--though I moved some of the existing flags to be near unflagged surviving plants from last year's crop in the southern planting area.
I also checked a section of the south tract for Ghost Pipes, but found nothing but an old shoe and an older beer can and some spots along the fire lane for further excavation.
I also found a place where someone may be setting up camp along the fence line in the south tract.
