Canaan Mt Bog

A new min may replace the morning min of 57.1. Midnight to midnight data. Likely prior to midnight the min fell below this and will reflect on the next logger download

Maples the dominant tree around the bog at the onset of peak color. Some still have a bit of change to go. As those change some of the current ones will drop. Over this week, around the bog area will be peak colors

Cabin Mt at Bald Knob

Maples across the top onset of peak. Birch ahead of schedule and should peak over the coming 10 day window. The birch make up a good portion of Weiss Knob as seen in pics below. Ground cover, ferns, chokecherry, blueberry while not vivid, have more or less hit their potential
