Temp: 94, hot, humid, sunny with gathering afternoon rain clouds
Hiked over to the trail bridge arriving just after 5 p.m. After picking up another rock from the old fire pit, I went straight to site 1B.
This year the mosquitoes have been bad in this area. I found my mosquito head net and it made a great difference in keeping the mosquitoes from being so annoying. I typically wear old jeans, a heavy duty, long sleeve, mossy oak shirt. Also heavy duty hiking socks and hiking boots and a camo cap. No bright colors. The only exposed skin has been my hands and face. I do use gloves and now my head net. I do use repellent also. Again, the head net makes a huge difference in helping me to stay longer in the woods. I stayed this evening till 6:45 p.m.

Here are the changes noted at site 1B for this visit:
- Both buckets were emptied of all food items left previously.
- Most wrappers were found at both buckets on the ground not far from the trees. Some wrappers were not found and a few were found over 50 feet from a bucket.
- A long limb (66 inches in length) that is perpendicular is now in front on the row of rocks in front of the plastic water jug with ground arrow pointer. ???
- The sprouted deer corn in the site has been flattened.
- The deer corn pile outside of the site perimeter has all been taken.
- A snickers bar wrapper is approximately 50 feet from bucket #2 towards the outside deer corn spot.
- The ground arrow direction pointer limbs has been moved again.
Here are my following new changes:
- I added another rock in front of the new limb near the arrow pointer.
- I had stood up a long log at a tree last visit. I added another long log vertically.
- I laid a broken limb over the rocks and the new limb.
- I removed all the balls from the back packs and piled them under the tree with the horizontal limb. I laid out a number of limbs again to make a new balls corral.
- I put the blue tire and one of the yellow tires vertically at the base of the bucket trees.
- the other tires were relocated near the new balls corral.
- I moved the gifting bag, the dream catcher, flute and 6"galvanized nail to the limb above the balls corral.
- I reset the moved limb pieces at the arrow pointer.
- another sham camera was added near bucket tree #1.
- I hung the belt buckle and comb off cords, over bucket #2. I also added the hammer in bucket #2 to see if it would be taken with the food items.
- At bucket #1 I put in the tennis ball and also hung the nail tent peg and a 6" galvanized nail from cords over the bucket.
- Added the 15lbs kettle bell to the end of the ground arrow.
Here are today's photos (32):

*The Urban Sasquatch researcher has done a great job of giving plenty of stimulation, puzzles, curiosities, attempted communications, and rewards. As he has had this predictable back and forth, keeping things nonthreatening, he has built a trust and a curiosity. Now that an established pattern has developed, it is time for him to plot out the implication of live cameras.
