The promised pictures...finally!

Well, we now have internet after 24 days in the field. Hopefully now we can keep a better eye on the weather and save me the aggravation of driving for 2 hours beginning and 4am and arriving to a site on which it happens to be RAINING.

Not much is new- we had our first weekend off this past weekend after 21 days of work. We traveled to Blacksburg to take care of some things there. It was certainly nice to have a break, but really hard to get back to work early this morning! I am hoping that since June has arrived we will see some sunny skies and warm days after this long in the field. This week is the Virginia-Kentucky District Fair in Wise, so we'll be attending tomorrow afternoon! I'll be seeing Bucky Covington perform in the evening.

Hope you enjoy the pictures- I've got to catch up! As always, feel free to post questions or comments on any of the blogs. I'll be sure to stay more current now!

Powell River Project- Virginia strip mining at its best.



The field house at Powell River. And our trusty X-terra.



The "trusty" X-terra. I don't really like driving it- the Jeep was way better!



Cows + X-terra before...


X-terra after. A new meaning of "cowlick." Can't explain why they do this!


A beautiful wild orchid.

The cows licked your car?? Hilarious!

Yep, they always do! I don't know if they like the dust, or maybe they are just inspecting??

Ok, so you're driving along, and the cows come up to your car and start licking?? Very strange. I would like to see pictures of this in action, haha.
