COMMENT: The weather is not quite cool enough to bring the specs into the Sulfur Mine. Even though we did fair today, it will get a lot better once the cold weather gets here. The weather today was great and we did do better than expected and we had no misadventures. We were able to scout a new area (Bayou Monnaie) which runs from Bayou Blue to Catfish Lake. It may pay off when the weather gets colder.
