attached are a few shots of control work this morning. Hard to get the right light with sun on the peaks and shade below. A few road hits in the WPCs, and LP just shy. Big dust clouds and long running shallow debris. Noticeable crowns in the gut of each path where we did have results, graupel pooling very apperent. A few pockets triggered from loose nat ax as well (i.e., pic of the Willows slide path under the cliffs).
