Monarch presentation: So many people wanted to hear the speakers, they had to change the location to the Wildflower Center. The auditorium hold 280. I had signed up for the presentation by Catalina Aguado, John Christian, Bill Calvert and Lincoln Brower on Monday evening. Then they added a second evening lecture with Prof. Brower on Sunday. I decided to go to that one also. Both of the field trips along Barton Creek are filled already.
I don't see myself going back to Mexico anytime soon, so this will have to do.
