2024 CO Plateau conditions

[regehr]

the Swell last weekend (April 12-14) was a bit warm. minor cedar gnats and a handful of mosquitoes in Cottonwood Wash in the 5000-6500' range. plenty of water is available at the moment. LOTS of mosquito larvae in the larger potholes so the canyon bottoms might be buggy soon.

Not yet as bad as it was in Sep.

Thanks for the beta.
