Four persons went on todays dig in Huccacove Cave in Williams Canyon. Myself, Jim, Scott, and Chas. Okay so I was a bit late gettin' in because I started walking up early and lost my way. It's been a couple of months. :-) The dig itself is getting interesting and very mucky. About ten to fifteen feet more than the last time I saw it (June 07) and we got about five to six feet done today. It has turned upward. It has also turned to rather wet clay, making it harder to bucket and load the sled out to the dumping area. It is slower going digging upward into moister heavier stuff. I did most of the bucketing again this trip, but did have to come out into the larger cavern for fresher air once as I was developing a headache. A tour group came by with Mary and went off into "God''s Country". They left before we did. I had a good time and of course the usual eats afterwards. It's been almost three months since I've done any "real" caving and all those muscles are not pleased at being woke up again. But it was great and I'll return again to help out when I can.
