First survey

It was a overcast misty morning when I hiked the north leg of the Powerline trail to conduct my first spider survey. The Powerline trail is a service road (at times a washed out gulley) that runs alongside the high powerlines that connect the north side of the island with the south side.

See red line on the map. That is a good close approximation to the location of the 10.25 mile trail that runs North/South along a moderately high ridgeline.

I only hiked in about 3 miles to survey a moist habitat of ferns and other plants which I am in the process of learning their names.
