Observations

Dug a pit at the top of the large flat area at Yodelin around 4300', facing north. Did a column test and had a sudden drop on the 2nd tap, failing on a stout crust interface. Column slid very easily off the top of the crust. Observed very loose sugar beneath the crust, with wetter, rounder grains on top.
