Noted naturals from the storm in the east ventricle of Cardiac Bowl, high in the Kessler Catcher's Mitt, and mid-slope Little Water. These looked to all be at the new/old interface.
Buried SH was hard to come by and can be tough to find. Noted Thursday's now buried small diameter SH laying down in mid-elevation protected northerlies in upper east fork of Butler.
Tracks in main Reynolds but chose to stay low angle.
