Rick Hutchinson, myself, and a bunch of my friends spent a couple of weeks touring around the near back country doing a GPS survey of places like the River Group, the Kaleidoscope area and the Sprinkler Group.<br> <br> After Rick’s death, no one was able to turn up the data files from that survey. I’ve got them on about 50 floppy disks, in a backup format that can’t be read by any current software, so no joy there.<br> <br> However, in clearing out a storage room, I came across a manila folder with a bunch of hand-written tables of the reduced survey data, giving the differentially corrected locations of a whole bunch of features, together with some rough, hand-drawn sketch maps showing the features that were surveyed.<br> <br> I’m not sure who would most benefit from this data. I’m looking for suggestions as to whom I should send it to.<br> <span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br> Mike O'Brien</font></span><br>_______________________________________________<br> Geysers mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:Geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu">Geysers@lists.wallawalla.edu</a><br> <a href="https://lists.wallawalla.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://lists.wallawalla.edu/mailman/listinfo/geysers</a><br></blockquote></div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
