Observation 3

Location: Cache Creek Forest

Date: 5.14.08

Time: 5pm

temp: 69 Degrees

Weather: Sunny with a slight cloud cover

Wind Conditions: There is a strong breeze

Soil conditions: The soil is really dry and dusty but in some parts there are still mosit because of all the snow that is still there.

Hypothesis: The weather is going to most likely become even warmer and supposedly get up to 80 degrees. It has become a lot warmer from my last observation, alot more sun and not much rain or snow and is continuing to get warmer. This sun will help vegitation even more, expecially from the rain the last couple of days. I looked closely at the aspen trees, and it looks like it is starting to grow buds that will most likely bud in the next week or two. Most of the grass is now covered in dandalions stems . There are more and more weeds coming up also, and they usually get really bad in the summer alsot the river has gone a little bit more up and on the river bank there are more weeds and plantation also the trees that live near the river seem to be start to bud faster and start to grow leafs.
