Oh, man!! I had had a very successful long weekend -- surveying over a dozen southern Vermont towns in 4 days -- and yesterday I discovered that the last town in my iPhone's NOTES app was #132 Groton. NOOOOO!!!
Glastenbury, Shaftsbury, Bennington, Pownal; Ludlow, Chester, Andover, Londonderry, Jamaica, Townshend, Windham, Weston, and Wardsboro; Rupert and Dorset, Proctor; Montpelier, Waterbury, and Williamstown. All lost, and all full-day birding expeditions. I averaged 150-200 miles a day that weekend.
Apple suggests trying to restore my last backup from iTunes, but I'm not optimistic. I know that the map I keep, the photos I took, and the memories I still have will give me some recall, but the scientific value of that weekend is mostly lost. Many of these towns will have to be re-surveyed, I'm sure. Glastenbury, Weston, and Windham have strong memories, but the others... not so much.
What a loss!
