⛅ Low 60s, partly sunny. Got pretty toasty towards the end.

I drove out to Hog Hollow to complete the setup of all Rhinusa pilosa exclosure grid sites for Spring 2025. I retrieved data from the data loggers, set up two game cameras, and checked the integrity of the exclosure fence. The exclosure looked in good condition since we lasted visited in September 2024.
