An addition to the Section D update.....
I was out to Mt Baden-Powell yesterday 8/19

Lamel Spring was not flowing... There is plenty of water in a pool 
there, but no discernable flow.

I was out to the Big Horn Mine on 8/9 and water was flowing out of the 
Fenner entrance 1.3 miles down the old road grade to the mine complex. 
If Lamel was to dry up completely , this is a possible alternate source.

We where cold on the summit, the temperature was in the low 40's with a 
steady 20-30mph wind, should have had a wind breaker! We could just make 
out Olancha Peak, Mt Langley, & Mt Whitney in the haze 150 miles to the 
north! Wow what a view....

We were out to Mt Islip on 8/17 and Little Jimmy was as always flowing 
well, oh man! is that water good.

We also passed by Cortelyou Spring on Highway 2 (0.4 miles east of Islip 
Saddle) and didn't see any flowing water, but didn't stop to investigate 
either.
