Logan,
Thanks for posting that. I'm a non-Facebook throwback...

Second that, Low Gun. But note that I'm not a throwback, I'm a modern guy who
just will not have anything to do with Facebook.
FYI We are headed down to Terlingua next week and will be there into early May.
Visitors welcome. Camping space available. Best to check before coming, though,
to make sure we are not out in the boonies somewhere or otherwise engulfed.
GSA has a regional geology meeting in Big Bend in March. Two batches of
grandkids also coming in March and/or early April.
Report is 1/4-inch rain a week or so ago, total 3/4-inch of Rain at our squat
since Aug 2010. Year and a half. Lots of cactus reported dying or very severely
stressed and just look dead. We will learn what the real native species are.
Planting trees is stupid. Let you know the truth of that in a couple of
weeks.
Old-time caver and rockologist Ring reported today:
So it's spring here. Some Mesquites did not loose leaves this winter and the
Cottonwoods are all leafed out. My Bougainvilleas are leafing out two months
early and the Sand Hill Cranes and Geese have been heading north for a month
now. I had the water in the chicken pen only freeze once overnight.
My years in the area suggests that Terlingua may be gearing up for a hard
freeze and a genuine goose-drownder. Lower Valley look out!
