It's raining

We may be shut down tomorrow if the rain doesn't let up soon. A
trackhoe began digging a landfill pit this morning. When we arrived,
we determined that there was too much water there so we moved the
location to another area. We were going to make the final call on that
location tomorrow morning to see if too much water is seeping in, but
now it is raining and we won't know how much is seeping in. The pits
are about 30 meters long by 10 meters wide by 5 meters deep.

The village is not completely mapped so one team spent time going into
compounds to shoot soil in each area/room in the compound. We had
hoped to shoot the exterior areas but didn't get to that because of
the landfill issues.

There is an area of this village with about 250 cubic yards of
processed or waste which tests at about 7 percent lead.
The people in this village were very nice. Well, everybody is nice
but this place seemed happier and more personable.

The road to this village is about 30 km or so away but it takes an
hour and a half to get there. Luckily none of us get car sick.
