Coordinator notes: People may not believe such records are important or they may be protecting their locality information. I think there is a good possibility I may come down there next year again for a few more agarithe. Late summer is really dead in my region and my doctor told me yesterday I need to stay active! I hope for one more trip to the Sierra/Kern River, maybe next week.
