We are going to try a post without a picture today. At the end of the day, after all of our equipment has run out of fuel. We perform our clean up, eat dinner, then it is time to sit around the fire and talk about events that took place during the day. My Mother-in-law usually wants to do an evening exploration trip to an area of the mine we have not been to in a while. When she heads out she usually takes my wife along with. My father-in-law and I sit around the camp fire and discuss ways to modify our equipment to make it work better, places we think that we need to dig test holes. We discuss how we are going to run the operation more efficiently with our small crew. Once my mother-in-law and wife return from their expedition we will then start the wine tasting, the in laws make their own wine. Most of the time it is great wine, sometimes you just have to spit it back out. After a couple glasses of wine it is usually time for everyone to hit the hay for the evening, then rinse and repeat, we do it all again the next evening.

How could I have done that?
Stella the Dog |
So I have left out a very important individual to a mining party, so here is an introduction if you see her in some of the photos. Her name is Stella, Black Lab, Rottweiler mix. She is a super good dog and the best bear early warning device you could have around. She Plays all day with Lyra(she does have to take some breaks to rest). When we are split up she will run between the groups of us checking in to see if everything is alright. She rides the 480D tractor with me, and she rides the Kubota by herself. Just a super good, “mans best friend.”
