Comments
Dug a few pits in the N facing trees in Lower Grizzly and did a few ECTs.
Got multiple ECTV (full propagation on column isolation) results at interface between the recent storms and old facets.
Was expecting touchy results, but would have thought a few days since the storm and warm temps today might have made the ECTs require at least a few taps.
Persistent layer danger still seems very sensitive and doesn't look like it's going away anytime soon - at least on protected N facing.
