Re: [Killietalk] Re: Devils' Hole

No hard facts, Frank.

A new fence line was marked out well beyond the present one, and most of 
the materials for building it were there on the ground near the old 
parking lot. [You have to walk up from the main road, now, BTW.]

I have heard discussions of the vulnerability of the present setup to 
vandalism (certainly true). Public viewing is high on some managers' 
agendae but not on others.

Actually you cannot really see fish or habitat conditions from the 
current viewing area, most of the time. Fortunately, the F&WL biologists 
have always been generous with tours to a refuge, where they slide back 
the covers and let us see *Cypr. diabolis* "up close and personal."
