   Went looking for morels in earnest today.  Saw lots of people in the   
   forest looking, but no one found anything.  Or, at least they didn't   
   admit to finding anything.  New foliage is still pretty sparse.  Just   
   swollen buds and small, immature leaves, which allows you to look pretty   
   deep into the forest.  When I say nothing, I mean *nothing*.  Even the   
   ever present small polypores were scarce.   
      
   I'm trying to find new "honey holes" apart from the spots where the   
   crowds gather.  Hope to continue searching new locations before the   
   foliage really gets thick.  Also hoping for some rain, everything seems   
   a little drier than optimal.   
      
   Here's a picture of a low area, near a stream.  Mixed hardwoods here,   
   oak, poplar, ash, but you can see the foliage is still very immature; See:
