Notes

The chloride ppm(mg/L) value is entered as 33 because that is the lowest value on the conversion card. The true value is a little less.

Common gartersnake (Thamnophis sirtalis) observed on the trail to the site. Needed professional help identifying, because it was a stripeless morph and it had lateral red interscale pigment that is an occasional trait.
