340 Feet

Yesterday Joe drilled all day; went down 340 feet and this was all we saw.


The different shades of  wash that came out as the drill went further into the ground.


This is the drill bit, no problem going through granite, just couldn't find water.


Mary watched the slag come out, hoping there might be some gold in the wash. No gold, no water.


Another section of drill shaft is raised and then attached to the drill. We now have 17 of these sections down our well, but no water. Today they will try and pump water under pressure to see if the can fracture the rock and find water. We will see........................................................
