Well its another exciting Wild Beast Capture in the Woods of Virginia. I had been seeing this hole developing behind my bird feeder stump and was wondering how it was getting there. At first I thought it may have been the rain water washing it out but this picture sheds the light of day or shall I say the light of night on it :)

This is where I left off at.
I was back here today. Still too much snow in the woods to do any effective digging, except for one tiny spot where all the snow was gone and the ground felt moist. I may try it thursday or friday. It'll be fun to dig again, even if I don't get very much of anything.
The foreman was having a hard time getting traction in the sandy wash. We solved the issue by having Jim and Rachel sit on the front and back of the Foreman, after that I had great traction and the rock moved easily.
Janet digging into the dessert i ordered (forgot the name of this one, too). it consisted of green tea jelly, green tea ice cream, sweet red bean and shiratama (not visible in picture) - similar to the dessert in the previous photo, but placed atop a pile of shaved ice soaked in maccha.
reminds me of ice kachang.
Nuru (13) cannot recall how long he has worked here. He has never been to school and does not know how to read or write. He is upset because his brother, who he works with, is angry at him for not processing enough material through a machine that they have to pay for daily. However, he quickly says that mining is still better than working on the fields back home "you farm the land, but don’t earn anything," he says, adding that he is not afraid of working in the mines.

A man digging up my lawn for the cable company. Believe it or not he's standing up in the hole. He dug the hole all by himself, which is impressive considering below the first inch or so of topsoil its hard clay and pracitally impossible for me to shovel.
We finally got some snow in Northern Va. It's coming down sideways and the guys are trying to keep up...
In an established gold field, such as this one at Gangaol, the holes are dug closer and closer together. Occasionally, the excess digging creates weaknesses, causing the walls to collapse. Last year, four miners died when a line of pits too close to each other collapsed, burying the miners. Their bodies will never be recovered. Nobody is digging here anymore.

Men always insist on digging themselves a hole.. I always wonder why! The best bit is, they usually realise and can't even stop themselves.

:) This is the coolest kid I've ever had the pleasure of meeting and having fun with. By fun I mean, we developed a system of high fives and fist bumps and he turned that into as much fun as he wanted it to be. Given I can speak hardly any Hungarian and he doesn't speak any English, our fist bumping system helped remove the feeling of a language barrier and this kid managed to teach me a huge lesson in modesty and humility without saying a single word. What a little legend he is.
