General Comments

There were a couple more WL-N-R1,D2-S's during the peak in temp. about mid day. This one is in Slide Canyon at 10,000', SE. The debris piled up fairly deep in the gully but only traveled about 1000'vertical.

General Comments 2

This is another similar slide on a SE aspect in Bunnells at 10,600'. Note, you can still see a portion of the crown in the upper right from the large D4 that happened last Monday 3/28. With good vis today, I did not see any deeper slides from this last storm.
