Ok... well then... Where to begin... woooo... And here we go - We, my friend and I dug all night Friday. Mostly clearing out my over burden, I laid over the top to conceal. And/or fill in the hole, and/or protect what was showing slightly. After a long night of - drinking, ax throwing, ax sharpening, getting more wood - why is it never enough - (let me be clear... sober enough to know better than to throw axes at each other)..
Anywho.. Saturday rolled around, my friend and I dug in, hardcore - he brought out and gave to me... rock chisels, a whole set. Quite nice - Once however, hitting clay.. we slowed down... way down, taking periodic breaks as to stretch the legs... sitting in one spot.. we'll you all you know how that goes... anywho, cleared out another foot and a half of over burden rock.. more or less, above and to the right of the pocket(s).. while my friend slowly went through crystal layer/clay/crystal layer/rock/clay/crystals going every which way... you get the idea.. on the left, long story short we dug ALL day and somewhat into the evening, working both sides and/or completely different pockets.. Sunday rolled on through - packed up the camp and took it to the truck via... (kinda wish I got a pic or two... dammit) a stretcher we constructed out of aspen/bungee cords and a little smart thinking.. in two trips... had a lot of crap.... way more than I'm used to taking.. anywho, loaded up the truck with everything except what we're using... came back to the pocket and started where we left off the night before... again long story short (for now, gotta get to bed) ...... well actually... let me leave off there, good climax and no end in sight... (No Country For Old Men) ((ZING!))
I know I've kinda jumped around but I'm still quite tired/sore (mentally and physically) from staying active (constructing a few things) when not in the hole DIGGING and hauling gear,... I'll have pics of our findings within the next few days... got... um... some... uh...
samples..
