Park Days #4-5
DAY #4
Today was horrible!!! We went to gok and check the progress of our coverboards and tubes,only to find that the coverboards were blown away by a water storm. Now we have about three boards and two pipes that need to be put back into place.
Today was very upsetting because it either means that we will have les s data or we will have to work even harder for the same amount of data that we were aiming to get before.
An upside of today was that we found some good future sports for coverboards.
DAY #5
Today was the first day that we took the dip net out in the park to try to catch some salamanders. We split up our group at the beginning of the class period so that we would be able to get more done in a small amount of time. Two people replaced two of the coverboards in spot 2A. The other two people went down closer to the sewer and used the dip net to try to find any salamanders in the riffle areas.
Today we all wore boots, so that we could walk through the water and do the dip net.
The main upside of today was that we found our first salamander. It was in the riffle areas of the creek. The two people that were using the dip net found the salamander because the other two people were looking for a shovel to use so that we could dig an area under the coverboards so that the salamanders would have somewhere to live.
