	And there's Laurie, getting long in the weeds, and Lawson keeping tabs on everything and everyone.

	Now, I just followed the country rock outer edge of the vein I was working straight down a couple of feet before taking it apart and exposing the crystals lining the inside. Unfortunately there wasn't much purple in this vein.

	I always enjoy spending the day digging here. I'm glad we finally were able to make it back and am very glad to see that there is still a lot of digging that can be done there. Hope to see y'all in the Fall!

	I wonder what Joes finds look like cleaned up. Well he's got a good excuse -- I know he's super busy preparing for the grassy creek show.
