The coldest temperature was 38 degrees Fahrenheit and several of the days had thunderstorms and windspeed warnings. The roads in the park and a few easily accessible trails were surveyed. A very large snapping turtle was also encountered but it did not make it into the observations as it moved out of camera shot too quickly.

There was a very large number of Eastern Red-Backed Salamanders, American Giant Millipedes, and Leopard Slugs, along with what appeared to be a sizeable population of Northern Spring Salamanders, Northern Two-Lined Salamanders, and Allegheny Mountain Dusky Salamanders. Also encountered was a Northern Slimy Salamander, a Red-Spotted Newt, and several species of spider. Weirdly, I did not see any crayfish whatsoever.
