Ed, I was wondering about you & Carl's data... I looked back in my file and noticed I entered in some of your stuff, but wasn't sure if I had all of it. There's some you list below that I forgot to include.
The shagbark is down on the flat about a mile below Gravel Lick on Carl's side of the river. Also, I forgot to review my Clear Creek data, and take another look at our Millstone data. I'll review my list and add your data in below if I haven't already. Wow, got to remember that I'm not the only one doing this anymore on the Clarion...
