Author Plot Code	105-NISI-0008
Author Observation Code	105-NISI-0008
Location Fields:	MAP: Google \| Yahoo \| TopoZone \| MapQuest
Location Accuracy	25 m
Confidentiality Status	exact location
Latitude	34.1441868573093 º
Longitude	-82.011103910714 º
Location Narrative	From parking lot, take admin road past maintenance area. At intersection with E-W road, take a right. Go forward about 500 m on the road to an intersection with other old road. Main path veers right, but stay forward instead on the path for another 100 m. Tag tree is a 45-cm dbh Pinus taeda on the SW side of road (tag #78 faces E). Conduit is at base of tree directly under tag. Vegetation plot starts from conduit and goes out at a bearing of 250 degrees.
