Monday 3 October went to the Woods at 6 PM to measure the distance to the new (old thin) rebar Ana found in line with Rice's mid 1960's plots' south line. The rebar she found and flagged appears to be directly in line with the other rebar of the south line.. and is 250 feet east of the previous eastern most rebar on the south line. If the western end of the line is where we were guessing, the southern line now would be about 427' feet in length. The student papers in Rice's class describe a one acre plot 441 ft by 99 ft. This looks like it is the right length and likely is the lost SE corner. Need to look north now 99 feet for the lost NE corner.
Leaving the Woods on the SW Trail at dragonfly corner an elm there had hundreds of hackberry emperor butterflies clustered on the stem. I assume the elm is stressed and producing flux..sugary sap attracting the butterflies to feed. It looks kind of amazing. No deer, dogs or turtles sighted in this brief hour.
