Between Snowstorms

Big snow yesterday, Saturday 2/13/2010. Probably about 3 inches on the map. So I waited for it to drip off the trees and melt away before heading out there today. Forecast for overnight is even more snow.

I am almost done with another page of the basemap. Worked my way down, down, down and discovered a little pond in the bottom corner of this page.

I cannot figure out the pattern of the boulders. It's either feast of famine. There were dozens on the west side of the spur I am working on, and two on the east side. They are in bands. Once the map is drafted that will probably be obvious, but it's certainly puzzling to the poor mapper while he is out there trying to plan the best use of his time!

And the next spur to the east is covered with more bare rock areas. It looks as if the big shallow reentrant repeats again three or four hundred meters east. But that will all be revealed over the next few trips.
