Are they doing these cylinder repairs in Chama or Antonito?

Sharon, I read on another board it was in Antonito but can't confirm that is reliable since part of that post has been disputed by John Bush. I am sure we will get a spotting soon on her whereabouts.

Thanks Tom, I also read that post on the NGDF and saw John's response. Was hoping for more clarification over here.

Now that I am in Chama, I went over to Antonito this morning to chase 215 back. While there got some shots of 484.

what makes you think it is a broken cylinder? To pull the piston out, you need to pull the front cylinder cover and head off. I see all the studs there and none broken off if it blew the head off.
