    Natchez Trace Overlook by LeAnn Nealey

    Very high e-coli amounts; photo of R-cards included. In 2 samples “other coliform” could not be counted because it was just a red background blur. The system required a number so I entered 0 since the e-coli count is the important number. The reservoir was extremely choppy and rough, with a straight east wind; high waves coming up over rocks onshore. Several herons flying low and fast overhead. Regarding e-coli count for sample 2: the blue dots were so numerous that I counted one square and multiplied that only by the number of squares covered by the water sample. For partially covered squares I estimated how many additional squares they would equal.
