Thanks again Scott. Very instructive. I have updated the recordings on the=
Grand Canyon
website, for pop free listing, longer MP 3s, and more explanation:
http://web.mac.com/geopaul/iWeb/Geo2Sound/Recordings%20.html
I also posted on that site 2003 Recording No. 2, which is good of the toads=
, and which has
some famous Grand Canyon rapids in the background. They were a couple of h=
undred
yards downstream.
There is also a new photo, sent in by my friend Ken Werner, of some toad am=
plexus. It
was taken with his point and shoot.
I am having trouble penciling out the spikes. I tried to do that but was u=
nsucessful. I will
look for the artifact you describe.
