Notes
water incredibly high. up 1.5-2 ft from 2 days previous. water is fast moving and not clear. the water in the test cup light yellow/brown. no bird song, but crows calling. mosquitoes particularly bad. blooming: goldenrod, st john wort, joe pye weed, meadowsweet, flat top white aster, cardinal flower, virgin's bower, yarrow, purple loosestrife. fruiting: choke cherry.
note: a large crayfish (4.5 inches) was seen here midweek. very exciting!
note: 2 days previous a pile of human poop and paper towels used as toilet paper were found on the rock pile at the edge of the other shore. unclear as to why literally any other part of the forest would not have been a better place to properly relieve oneself. right at the water's edge?! frustrating. site is clearly not as unvisited as assumed.
