~Looking at the drill from behind~
Well, I have good news from the Blende Camp…finally. We finished our first hole!!! It is a bit –ok, a lot behind schedule, but it is done. It was pretty successful as well; we saw what we wanted to see. Then I got to try out the new toy we got for finding the dip and azimuth of the bottom of the hole. Now the task is to finish up the logging on this first hole and await the goodies that arrive in the next to come. I have included a photo of the drill that we are using as well as an aerial view of the east zone of the property where we are drilling.
I am only in camp for a couple more days until I will go on break for three or four days. Melissa and her crew are switching camps, so Mel and myself will hang out in Mayo while they have some time off between camps. I am looking forward to getting the tour of the area I have heard so much about.
Things are staring to get into a rhythm here in camp now that the core is flowing, and time is beginning to fly by. It feels like I just arrived at the Blende and it has already been almost a month. Nothing but fun though. Bye for now.

Got your blogspace from Auntie Deb and this is amazing. Now we can keep tabs on you too. This sounds like an adventure of a lifetime and hope you are both having a blast!

Hi Guys!
Uncle Johnny just sent me the link to your blog! What an awesome idea! It sounds like you are having so much fun! I am so jealous! (not of the whole outhouse thing though). Haha. I can't wait to see some of the rocks you have collected along the way and to hear all the neat things about them that I have no clue about.
I'm so proud of both of you! I wish I was as adventurous as both of you! What great memories you will have! Keep posting!

Mike! That's the ugliest drill I've ever seen! Congrats on getting that beast running! Yikes! I think we need more pictures of Mike with a big thick mountain-man beard. I think that would be a big blog-seller right there.
Keep it up buddy!
