Glad you could make it down today. Between the five of us we pulled a ton of clad out of there, but you cleaned up on the silver. Congrats! Looking forward to meeting up again real soon.

Congrats on the 3 silvers. That sure looks like some really hard ground you are standing on, especially with that 'road packer' in the background! That must have been some tough digging?

Really it was all powder, it had been graded up, all the little bumps had been leveled out.
