Getting work done and having fun

We took the long trip to the far village again today. On the way there we had a clogged fuel filter so we stopped at the stream crossing to fix it. Yes, it would have been nice to not fix it near a stream but that concept is lost here. This particular stream is in that forested area I mentioned a couple days ago so it was nice to be stuck someplace so nice. We played around on the log bridge for a while.

Once we got to town we made a lot of progress on mapping the entire village including exterior areas. Clean soil placement is happening all around the perimeter. This village is so small (approx. 1300 people) that it will be relatively easy for the crews to move clean soil from the outside in. This village is in such a dry area compared to the last village that things have been going quite smoothly. There are three compounds on the other side of the river from the main village that we have yet to find a path for, so that is an unmet challenge still to be dealt with.

We had a surprise at the next village we are working at when we learned that the village we knew about was actually twice as large as originally thought. We have been driving though the old town section and thought it was small but there is a new town section on the other side of the fields which we have never seen before today. So just some more work to take care of...

After finishing what we could we headed back and had to clean out the fuel filter again... When we got back we headed up to the tailor to pick up an item I ordered. The local village is quite large and busy, but we are learning the layout.

Waiting for tomorrow to come.
