Well I was able to hike into the dig site, and haul out 2 buckets of dirt.
Not so easy hauling buckets of dirt uphill in 5-7 foot drifts, but a great workout! It doesnt look like it, but the snow on the hill side in the pic above this one is over 3 feet deep still. Ground wasnt near as froze as i thought it would be. I may be crazy, but Im not stupid.......Im bringing the highbanker in next time. Pond was thawed just enough to get to the water. Spot where I dug this dirt had color in it, and as you can see, I didnt dig very far into it yet.........Yet!
