<html> <head> <style> .hmmessage P { margin:0px; padding:0px } body.hmmessage { font-size: 10pt; font-family:Verdana } </style> </head> <body class='hmmessage'> I've been back about a week, but haven't had anything too exciting to report.   I just missed everything yesterday:  Vent and Turban were i.e. at 1333, Riverside too in the distance, Castle had minored, and Fan & Mortar were quietly steaming.  When I went down to place a new F&M marker using the old black gravel that washes to the left, the puddle there was still hot-tub-warm, and the wind was chilly (lots of frozen runoff channels in the basin).  Oh well.   I replaced a Penta marker today, 11/29, that was in place 11/24.  Lion was 1353.   4 to 6 wolves have been around, and they successfully hunted an elk (I think, seeing a skeleton at a distance) Saturday night/Sunday morning.  There are tracks on Lone Star trail too.    Also at Biscuit yesterday, all 3 pools before Sapphire were murky, Shell had a nice 8 minute cycle or so, and Avoca was strong.    For those coming this winter, we'll just have a staff of 3 rather than 4, so will be more grateful than ever for your help!   Carolyn Loren <RTE_TEXT></RTE_TEXT> <hr />Color coding for safety: Windows Live Hotmail alerts you to suspicious email. <a href='http://windowslive.com/Explore/Hotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_hotmail_acq_safety_112008 ' target='_new'>Sign up today.</a></body> </html>
