Comments
Apologies for the poor photo quality.... I must've had a smudge of something on my lens... most likely Hawaiian Tropic tanning oil :)
None-the-less, a couple of natural pockets noted on steep, leeward, ENE facing slopes in the Snake Creek drainage. Most likely occurring during high PI late Friday/early Saturday
