Today would have been a good day for a Big Day for the state, and up until last night I was planning on doing one today.  I'm glad I didn't...I ran out of gas (me..not the car) -- heat didn't help-- around lunch today.  I tromped through the Bradley Unit from 5:30 until about 9:15, then a I hit a few places nearby, similar to last week and ended up with a pretty good day, finishing up around 11:30 with 111 species.
