The possibility of digging this Sunday boils down to the receipt of a new winch. It was supposed to arrive this week. I am still waiting. There are still 7 full barrels at the bottom of the pit. If we can't get them emptied there is no reason to dig. Stay tuned. I will try to keep you posted.

Greetings; We had an excellent cave dig today; the weather was much cooler than the last dig and we had a tarp to shield the sun. Our objective was to continue digging down towards the North Passage, in the process uncovering the largest boulder yet. Conrad dug down the soft clay mud
