Protocol: Traveling

2.0 mile(s)

Checklist Comments:    BBC trip, led by David Scott. Frustrating walk, couldn’t find very much for the first couple of hours despite covering a lot of ground, and we had to work hard to see what we did. Good activity towards the end along Beech and Central Avenues.
