Wildfires near Chernobyl

There are wildfires very close to Chernobyl. This has the potential to release a lot of radiation. The fires are already well within the no-go zone around the plant, areas of high radioactivity.

The fires are in the news [https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-52274242] but nothing is mentioned about the radiation threat. I remember reading that this (re-release of radiation) is still an issue in the US Southwest also where atomic tests were done, if the ground is disturbed or there are fires.

Switching to RideWithGPS

I've used mapmyfitness for a long time. Maymyfitness is the same as mapmyride however it is too intertwined with Facebook as are some other popular fitness tracking apps. Now using ridewithgps and my profile is here: https://ridewithgps.com/users/1949742

Marin Headlands is glorious right now / Lupine survey

Hiked with my bicycle up the SCA trail from the north lot of GG bridge to the Coastal Trail at the top today and also a couple days ago. What a glorious trail! There are so many wildflowers in bloom. I've been uploading a lot of observations from this trail.

After observing what I think was a Lupinus nanus a couple weeks ago near Fort Baker, a couple days ago I tried to do a little mini Lupine survey of Marin Headlands, making observations for a variety of plants at different locations as I covered terrain.

GPS disaster

Made a lot of observations today on Mt. Tamalpais but for every single image the GPS coordinates were way off. Very frustrating.

The observations were along either the Troop 80 trail or the TCC trail.
