Anyone having trouble searching for GLO plats online. I can't get past the meridian entry. Well, it will not let me select a meridian.

I was there about an hour ago ( http://www.glorecords.blm.gov/default.aspx) and it would take forever to bring anything up .....So I bagged it.

I went through this a couple of weeks ago with the CA BLM site. When I called the number shown on the web page, I got a staffer who told me that I must be doing something wrong. When I asked if the site was working for him, he took a moment to load the page, then said that the site is down and I should try again in a few hours.

I've been to the site a number of times since then. Most of the time it's been working, but sometimes not. Between the intermittent status of the service and the goofy approach they used to link to the images (I'd much rather have a direct link to the file instead of the "let's launch another application to bring the image up on a separate page" thing), it's not exactly state-of-the-art web design. However, I accept that there's not much money available for serving what is probably a very small user base, and having plats online sometimes is better than not having them online at all, so I'm not going to complain too loudly.

I'm of the same basic opinion.

This is so much easier than when we had to call the archives and wait on the mail, I am not going to complain too loudly. B-)
