Community trip log beta

The skunks
count, too.

Any complete trip helps build the dataset for future model training and evaluation. Location, time, effort, method, catches, whether it’s a skunk or not are useful and genuinely appreciated.

Beta · reports are reviewed before model use. Public results never expose exact coordinates, notes, photos, or identity.
