With Ron Smith most of trip. Amazing count of Painted Ladies. Had to have been driven in by Tropical Storm Emily. Highest density at Bay Pier area, out in the beach scrub by Ranger’s house. 68 counted with R. Smith. 9 more counted by R Smith at park offices at the flag pole. A Florida high count record?
