"Well Digging" by Lumen Martin Winter on the second floor of the Kansas State Capitol. A well was a necessity for Kansas pioneers, particularly those on the high plains. The woman with a hoe offers a prayer for rain. The men dig deeper under a blazing sun as the diviner looks eagerly on.
One of 8 murals that are on the second floor of the capitol. Commissioned in 1976 and completed in 1978. Originally John Steuart Curry was going to do murals for the second floor rotunda but due to a dispute with legislature Curry left. The legislature then directed a new artist to "refer to" Curry's sketches for ideas on the new murals.

Big trenches right up to our back fence. Volvo lorry taking away the earth - mostly quality garden soil.
The sign at the edge of Rennes-le-Chateau forbids you from doing any digging or tunnelling to try and find treasure !

I have literally thousands of photos from this trip. If any one wants more of a particular vehicle, let me know.
This is day 1, trip along the Border Track - Dog Fence.
This must be one of the best sand tracks to be found in Victoria/South Australia. It follows the border from near Pinnaroo right down to near the Melbourne - Adelaide hwy.
This track has very large sand hills to get over. Most of these hills have tracks to get around them if you are not able to get over them. Some of these hills are so extreme there's no way anyone will get over them, so this track can very easily be classed as a 'Difficult' track.
Very Important. Check with the SA National Parks and Reserves for information on when the track is closed, and what direction you need to go in.
The track is about 107km. Allow a full day to make this trip. For a more enjoyable weekend, take your time and camp anywhere along the track. Stop in or camp at Red Bluff - scenic red sandstone hill.
(This is where we stopped). Dress warm though as it gets hot in the day, freezing at night.
Make sure you pack all your recovery gear, and travel in a group with other 4wd's. (We had to recover 2 vehicles).
Check the depths of the mud holes. Some for us were over 1 meter deep. Watch out for the holes towards the end, they are really deep!
Momentum is your friend on the sand dunes. We used 15psi tyre pressures. (Try the sand dunes 3x, if you fail, take the chicken path)
We ended up getting lost around the supposed turnoff to red bluff, that according to the maps was "well signposted".
We ended up with broken eggs and bottles.
This is mostly a sandy track with dunes and provides you with a remote location for testing self and equipment without travelling deeper into the outback.
The environment is typical Victorian desert – Mallee country. Expect some scratching from Mallee scrub particularly in the Wyperfeld section and some parts of the Northern Border Track may be overgrown. Soft sand is to be found on the tracks as well as corrugations and hard gravel.
The border track is steeped in history largely due to the dispute which arose from the original survey completed between 1847 and 1850. The result is that the border is actually sighted some 3kms too far West. A fascinating account of this can be obtained from John Deckert at Westprint Heritage Maps if you manage to visit whilst in Nhill.
There is an abundance of wildlife to enjoy whilst undertaking this trip, so watch out for Emu and Kangaroo. Aboriginal rock holes can be found close to the junction with South Bore Track.
We were lucky to reach the top speed of 40 kms/hr.

During a brief weather opportunity, avalanche crews undertook control work on Hwy 37A from American Creek to Big Canyon.
The Canyon Slide path, had a run of 4 kilometres in length, with a fall of 2000 metres.
The control work produced an avalanche which was 800 metres wide by 400 metres long, averaging 8 metres deep.
The deepest point of avalanche deposit was approximately 17 metres deep.
Best of the best. Cat one men fly through the final turn of the Capitol Criterium in Olympia Washington.
After a successful dig we reached the top of a virgin 20ft pit, where we had to break ledge to get through
This isn't your average classroom. Instead of learning under fluorescent lights, students in WSU Assistant Professor Krysta Ryzewski's Archaeological Field Methods course are scurrying about in the vast shadow of Detroit's iconic Michigan Central Station, unearthing relics of the city's past.

Digging on a late dump. The very top layer dated from May 1940. Labels on the bottles had rotted away, but for some reason other paper and card items were well preserved. We were pulling newspapers out with headlines about hitler and the nazis! For such a late tip it was quite interesting. Still can't beat a good earlier tip though lol
A new drainage channel has been laid at the north end of platform 2 at Moreton-in-Marsh station and the old surface removed on Tuesday, November 20, 2018
Fire often smolders deep in the duff layers, so firefighters have to dig deep to ensure it is out cold.
