Ophir Swamp

East aspects are gaining strength with increased HS and mild temps over the last couple weeks. Continue to see rounding facets near the ground. Nice trend hopeful to see continue. Found facets below a crust buried 20cm below the surface. Likely Radiation Recrystallization, my favorite, elusive weak layer. Did not propagate but it is something to keep an eye on.

Upper Sneffels Creek

Continue to see signs that DH is gaining strength. Third day in a row to see moist facets near the ground. Not ready to let my guard down where these things are present however. Upper portion of DH still reactive in stability tests.
