The Mattole Wildlands Defenders have recently started using a camera trap with the goal of documenting rare and elusive wildlife in the unprotected Oldgrowth Douglas Fir Forests on Pacific Lumber land in the North Forks of the Mattole River. The current method we use is to set the trap on frequently used animal trails. We want to document the animals in their normal range so we are not using bait. The camera is equipped with a motion sensor. On Jan. 22nd of this year a Cinnamon colored Black Bear (Ursus americanus) discovered the camera trap in Rattlesnake Creek and inspected it. The camera was found dangling from the tree upside down in a small creek. Luckily it was undamaged and was re-deployed in a more remote area of Oldgrowth Forest.

I'm at a loss right now. The post appears normal to me until it's viewed in google maps or downloaded as a KMZ, then the UBB code is visible and the pictures aren't.

Sorry friends, but I probably won't be able to fix this until I get back from the field next week. Hopefully I will have some good stuff from the cam trap to share. I welcome any suggestions or comments you have.

I have edited your placemark to help. I hope that's what you wanted.

Thank you very much! Where was my error?

You need to use html code in the placemark balloon and ubb code for the forum post. Your original placemark has ubb code in the balloon.

Nice icon!

Thanks Lucia!
