I haven't received the April 09 Sput yet, but I do have the file I sent to Tom and Genean. Actually, I made two typographical errors--the first is the -292 that should have been -282, as Scott noted. The second is a topographical error in the depth of the Salton Sea, which should have been -227 according to the Death Valley nps.gov website. Placement of the Salton Sea in the table is correct, but the depth listed was incorrect.<BR>

<DIV>In receipt of the April 09 Sput (on March 4, for Udo's record -- and what? you want me to pay... again?), I'm afraid another correction is necessary. In this case, I'm sure this is correcting a typo, but nonetheless:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>-- The lowest __official__ elevation is Death Valley is -282 feet (not the -292 as given in the Sput, page 18)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>-- Several people have reported obtaining GPS values of -289 feet out on the salt flat west of Badwater. This I find perfectly reasonable, given that Death Valley is an active, evolving place and has, west-up versus east-down, tilted by as much as 20 feet in less than 2,000 years. Nevertheless, the NPS officially accepts -282, calling reports of -289 "popular misinformation."</DIV>
<DIV> The -282 is from the USGS, and that survey was many years ago. Therefore......</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>-- I guess that table on page 18 also needs to move Salton Sea above Vpadina Akchanaya in the list.</DIV>

<DIV>P.S. Like the fact that the Spring 2009 issue of Sierra magazine notes locations with geysers as prime candidates for geothermal power plants? Yes, indeed.</DIV></FONT><BR><FONT style="FONT: 10pt arial,san-serif; COLOR: black">
