Weather

🌦️ High 70s, cloudy, some drizzle in the morning. Sooooo many mosquitos 🦟.

We left Aberdeen on Wednesday morning at 7 AM. We stopped by the Brown County Weed Control garage to grab our cages that they kindly took down for us in July. Thanks Chris!!

After getting to the Spearfish area on Wednesday afternoon, we visited our Sawyer site to collect data from the M. janthinus transects. On Thursday, we visited Nemo to collect both grid data and transect data from the site.
