| Note: | 7/17/92 again - no time noted - We decided that any alternative routes would invite off trail exploration into equally dangerous areas so did not flag a route. Especially southeast of Vixen is a depression with holes all along the margin. {nbk6} The depression from memory, might be 5’ x 7’ or bigger. It looks trecherous [sic]. So we decided to stick with the boardwalk.
Duncan Foley was here…. He has a soil thermometer which registers to 300ºF so we went to the hot area.
With soil temps of 199.2ºF, he says we have hot water very close to the surface. Makes sense. New boardwalk in order to circumvent the hazardous area seems essential. A visitor made the suggestion of using heat-sensing apparatus in order to chose a new safe route. Duncan Foley said he would come back tomorrow in the AM to re-check temps. |
