Juni Mountains (eastern portion), McKinley and [illegible] Cts.
New Mexico.
May 26
Have fallen quiet, and water has reappeared (as of about 1983).
(Craft)
A pool of water about an acre in surface area drains eastward under the highway and runs off into two malpais there. About half the margin of this pool, and most of the first 200 yards or so E. of the highway, is heavily grown to cattails. Sand grass grows elsewhere at water's edge. Just back of the pool rises the steep rock wall that is the easternmost foothill of the Juni Mountains. Elevation is approx 6500 feet.
Weather this afternoon was partly cloudy, about 75°F, with 15 mph SW winds.
