Transects

We walked purposefully. The sun hasn’t shown up in the sky as yet, and the skies were clear. Perfect day to establish the transects. We worked on the map the day before, choosing carefully where the transects will be laid down. We used ArcGIS to measure each of them, carefully outlining where they will be placed. Armed with GPS receivers, flagging tapes, markers, hacienda map, tarpaulin cut into rectangles that will be used as tags, water, and some food, we set off. This is going to be a long day.
