Michael,
Excuse my delay in posting this message which
relates to your day 14 report. We were in
Kansas for Christmas and I didn't have the
attached picture with me to send from there.

When you were at azbcso was there any water in
the Colorado River? When we were there in Nov.
1990, the objective was the low point of AZ.
All of the water was flowing thru an irrigation
channel parallel to the river leaving the wide
river bed completely dry. We walked out to the
lowest area in the river bed in line with the
boundary fence on shore. The Mexican bridge in
the background is just south of the border.
Since we weren't chasing boundary points at that
time, we didn't realize we had also been at azbcso.

This wouldn't be a class a visit since there is no
marker in the river bed, but wouldn't it qualify
for a fairly high level of visit? Incidentally,
this picture is the one currently used on the cover
of my, "Guide to the Lowpoints of the United States."

Happy New Year,

Jack
