Spirit Mound moths
Last Wednesday morning, I woke up early and couldn't go back to sleep. I decided to drive out to Spirit Mound to walk to the top again and try to make my own map of the area. As I was documenting a nice section of sage along the path, leaning in to smell its fresh scent, a moth flew out from the brush and landed right on my map. I tried to shoo it off of my paper, but to no avail. It wandered around my drawn elevation lines of the mound, and then took a tiny crap on the section of rocks I'd previously labeled - bright orange moth poo, right on my hand-drawn map. I'd had the notion earlier to use this as a guide to recreate the map onto larger paper, but now that it had been so interestingly trail-blazed, I decided it was best to dirty it up a bit more. Aren't all good maps worn in by use?
