Not only must each plot be properly marked and all measures are in near perfect order, but all notes and records must be complete. Otherwise, the plots may fail to yield the desired results and those who in later years become responsible for their care and for the analysis of the data, may be led to serious mistakes.” [U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service 1935.] Note to User: URBAN FIA Field Guide 7.1 is based on the National CORE Field Guide, Version 7.1. Data elements are national CORE unless indicated as follows: National CORE data elements that end in “+U” (e.g., x.x+U) have had values, codes, or text added, changed, or adjusted from the CORE program. Any additional URBAN FIA text for a national CORE data element is hi-lighted or shown as an "Urban Note". All URBAN FIA data elements end in “U” (e.g., x.xU). The text for an URBAN FIA data element is not hi-lighted and does not have a corresponding variable in CORE. URBAN FIA electronic file notes: o national CORE data elements that are not applicable in URBAN FIA are formatted as light gray or light gray hidden text. o hyperlink cross-references are included for various sections, figures, and tables. National data elements that end in “+N” (e.g., x.x+N) have had values, codes, or text added, changed, or adjusted from the CORE program*. Any additional regional text for a national CORE data element is hi-lighted or shown as a “NRS Note.” All regional data elements end in “N” (e.g., x.xN). The text for a regional data element is not hi-lighted and does not have a corresponding variable in CORE.

  • Encounters with the Early Highpointers by Charles
    SOME CLOSE (AND NOT SO CLOSE) ENCOUNTERS WITH THE EARLY HIGHPOINTERS BY CHARLES FERIS Many stories can be told of how we got our first inspiration to pursue this hobby of ours, this highpointing. We’ve been inspired in a hundred ways; mine arose during a period of boredom, while in college. Seeking something other than study, I took out a Rand McNally road atlas, and looked at a map of my native state of Illinois, noting the little red dot in the northwest corner of the state. Wow, something neat to do. So while the other kids were off to Florida, off to Charles Mound I went during spring break 1961. Then it hit me; I had already done Mt. Whitney the year before, so why not do all the states. Now I was really excited. The next few years saw me collecting 13 more highpoints in the Midwest and southeast. I went my merry way, never realizing that others might be crazy enough to be pursuing the very same project. At this point I was not aware of the tiny fraternity of early highpointers who were already years before me. I had no idea of the remarkable people I was about to meet. Then in August 1965 a Sierra Club friend of mine in Chicago told me about C. Rowland Stebbins. I had found a kindred soul, one who had already completed the 48. I phoned him immediately. Soon my wife and I were off on the four hour drive to Lansing, Michigan. We arrived to an expansive mansion on Moore’s River Drive atop a bluff overlooking the Grand River.

    MORE THAN MOUNTAINS The Speech Edited transcription of Todd Huston’s speech Editor Julie Dunbar Huston Copyright 2018 Todd Huston LLC Forward The beauty from the mountaintop can be a very spiritual experience, and very symbolic of our life journey. We all have greatness within us – it’s how we are created. Eventually we live that greatness, and it’s the most brilliant light we could ever imagine. It beams through all darkness, not only in our lives, but the lives of those with whom we come into contact, and even those upon whom our thoughts rest. Getting to that point can seem like quite a hike up a strenuous mountainside, because throughout our journey we cram our packs full of some dark and unnecessary debris. This debris may take the form of negativity others have said about us that we can’t seem to shake off. It may take the form of abuse we have suffered. We may find we have taken on an unfavorable and unhealthy self-image. The debris may even come in the form of impatience, anger, or greed, which don’t seem terribly harmful; however, these are the most toxic because we feel justified in holding these thoughts toward ourselves or others. But none of this has anything to do with our true selves and the greatness and light we all are. In fact, it’s the opposite of our true identity and will only shroud our light in empty darkness. The more we unload our pack of this vile debris and toss it to the wind the easier becomes our ascent, until we finally let go of every false suggestion about who we are, recognize our true, beautiful identity, and reach that incredible summit.

  • Dinosaurs: Facts and Fiction
    Dinosaurs: Facts and Fiction By Ronald J. Litwin, Robert E. Weems, and Thomas R. Holtz, Jr. Few subjects in the Earth sciences are as fascinating to the public as dinosaurs. The study of dinosaurs stretches our imaginations, gives us new perspectives on time and space, and invites us to discover worlds very different from our modern Earth. From a scientific viewpoint, however, the study of dinosaurs is important both for understanding the causes of past major extinctions of land animals and for understanding the changes in biological diversity caused by previous geological and climatic changes of the Earth. These changes are still occurring today. A wealth of new information about dinosaurs has been learned over the past 30 years, and science's old ideas of dinosaurs as slow, clumsy beasts have been totally turned around. This pamphlet contains answers to some frequently asked questions about dinosaurs, with current ideas and evidence to correct some long-lived popular misconceptions. Although much has been discovered recently about dinosaurs, there is still a great deal more to learn about our planet and its ancient inhabitants. When did the first dinosaurs appear on Earth? Are all fossil animals dinosaurs? Did people and dinosaurs live at the same time? Where did dinosaurs live? Did all the dinosaurs live together, and at the same time? How are dinosaurs named? What was the biggest dinosaur? What was the smallest? How many types of dinosaurs are known? Were dinosaurs warm-blooded? How long could a dinosaur live? What did dinosaurs eat? How fast could dinosaurs walk or run? Did dinosaurs communicate? Why did some dinosaurs grow so big? Which was the smartest dinosaur? What colors were dinosaurs? Were dinosaurs social animals? When did dinosaurs become extinct? Why did the dinosaurs die out? Where can I find more information about dinosaurs?

Her shoulder-length brown hair bordered full, rose-colored cheeks and wild, hungry-looking eyes. She car- ried a small backpack, loaded with a beat-up sleeping bag, a one-person tent, a Therm-a-Rest, a wispy rain jacket and wool baselayers, a compact headlamp, 6 liters of water, and snack food pre-portioned into small meals. The next morning, June 8, 2013, Barney, Sandy, and Anish piled into the Manns’ Prius at 5 a.m., and drove the 75 miles to the trailhead in Campo, California, near the Mexican border. Nobody spoke as they pulled up to the monu- ment, four weathered pillars of wood at the start of the PCT. More than 2,500 trail miles—crossing desert, forest, canyons, and mountain after moun- tain—lie between this spot and Canada. As Anish had told the Manns, she planned to hike that dis- tance faster than anybody ever had. She gathered her belongings while Sandy took a few photos and said goodbye. “She seemed very confident, but there was no braggadocio,” Sandy recalls. At 6:27 a.m., Anish signed the trail register: Well, here goes. To Canada. –Anish. In the previous two months, hundreds of hik- ers had signed the register. But Anish wasn’t like them, and none of them knew she was coming. In time, everyone on the trail would know her name. She wasn’t like the rest of them. ¶ They knew that.
