Digging Away


We've been digging at the site for 4 days now, and I already have a pretty good story to tell (and will tell in another post soon).  The pictures in this post are mostly from earlier in the week. We are now MUCH deeper into the site and have even reached the bottom in one square.

It has been a fairly hot and sunny week, but every day we have been digging in the cool, cool shade.  Our site in situated in the alders and we did not cut any down when we opened up the site for excavation.  So the branches form a sort of bower over our heads.  It is sort of like digging in a cathedral.

On Kodiak I can't remember ever digging at a site in the woods.  At the Kashevaroff site on Salonie Creek we had cottonwoods all around, but at that site we also got sun-blasted every afternoon.  At this site it feels cool and green all day long.  Patrick
