hole in one (day)
Field Lab Cattle Guard
No distractions today - tricked myself into finishing hole #2. Worked the 2 shade shifts. 93,108,72,0,W
The first jerky I ever had was made from road kill ,mesquite smoked longhorn steer.Longhorn hide's make the best shoe sole leather.One tough steer those longhorns. .
That is the best method I have seen for punching through caliche (short of a back hoe or jack hammer). Well done!

Well! John...Good job on both holes...At least you can't fall into either hole...Did you finish at ..30 inches?
ReplyDeleteWow, do you get an echo off of that one? With the shadow like it is it looks bottomless.

ReplyDeleteIf you strike oil, do you get to keep it???
That one looks portable, just put it where you want it and fill it up.
ReplyDeleteHow far down does that caliche layer go? Is it everywhere in Terlingua? Can't be easy for a backhoe to break thru ether

John - The "cattle guard" makes a great screen background. Glad you have such a fine security force!
