Back at it again-at last

Bill and I are finally back at it.We ran to the desert a few days ago.More to eye ball things than dig.But,with any luck,we can find a decent spot so this late spring we can put some hours on the dry washer.
We have been looking at a area where it is somewhat hazardous to get in and out.But,because it is so hairy,it has been more or less unworked. Hope everybody is out having some fun.Hope to see you all out there a digging.
