Geo 365: July 18, Day 199: Ready to Drill

The rock drill on its first start up was a little stubborn, but Chris finally got it going and warmed up. He had already cleared a spot of weathered, broken rock near the top of a muddy/silty layer of the Tyee, which you can see just to the right of the top of the water canister. Donning his ear muffs, he started the engine, and was ready to drill.
