Photo 3825. Drilling at TANK. View looking East. Patrick Marion is to the left, Dylan Matieu is at the right. Note that that the holes are about 5-6 paces to the north of the instrument box (which cannot be seen due to the high grass).

Photo 3826. Drilling at TANK. View looking East.

Photo 3827. Drilling at TANK. View looking West. Instrument box is at lower left of this photo.

Photo 3828. Drilling at TANK. The Earthquake Drill is leaning on the back of one of the field vehicles.

Photo 3829. Drilling at KOOL. View looking East. Lee Powell is in the center - hard at work as usual.

Photo 3830. Drilling at KOOL. View looking East. Wanted to be sure to get Lee at his finest.

Photo 3831. Drilling at KOOL. View looking North. Note the holes are about 8 paces east of the easternmost pole at the station.

Photo 3832. Drilling at CVCR. View looking Uphill to Station (NE). This photo shows the location of the holes relative to both the station above and the road to the left.

Photo 3833. Drilling at CVCR. View looking SW across road

Photo 3834. Drilling at FLIP. View looking North. Note the holes are about 4 paces north of the northernmost post at the station.

Photo 3835. Drilling at FLIP. View looking West.

Photo 3836. Pat pointing to the holes drilled at the SAFOD site. View looking SW.

Photo 3837. Sites at SAFD. View looking SE.

Photo 3838. Drilling at first BURN site (BURN1). View looking west. NOTE THAT WE EVENTUALLY ABANDONED THIS SITE because we hit rock at about 6 feet. We moved to site BURN2 shown below. The holes at BURN1 were later filled in. I've included these photos of BURN1 just for completeness.

Photo 3839. Drilling at BURN1. View looking west.

Photo 3840. Drilling at BURN1. View looking west.

Photo 3841. Drilling at BURN1. View looking west.

Photo 3842. Drilling at BURN2. View looking west. THIS IS THE REAL BURN SITE. The tree to the right is a useful landmark

Photo 3843. Drilling at BURN2. View looking south.

Photo 3844. Drilling at PIGH. View looking south.

Photo 3845. Drilling at PIGH View rotated clockwise in azimuth from previous photo.

Photo 3846. Drilling at PIGH. View looking south. Picture shows the road going to the south on the left hand side of the photo. I am standing at the intersection of this road and the PIGH road just beyond the gate.

Photo 3847. Drilling at PIGH View looking west. Dylan is leaning over the holes. The road to PIGH station on is on the right.

Photo 3848. Drilling at SS01 View looking NE toward TANK

Photo 3849. Drilling at SS01 View looking west, back to the drill site, which can be seen through the trees. This photo is 180 degrees from previous photo.

Photo 3850. Drilling at SS02 View looking NE toward TANK

Photo 3851. Drilling at SS02 View looking NE toward TANK. Slightly farther back from previous slide to show the position relative to the gate at left.

Photo 3852. Drilling at SS03 View looking NE toward TANK. The large tree to the left is a good landmark.

Photo 3853. Drilling at SS03 View looking SW toward Drill Site.

Photo 3854. Drilling at PIES View looking NW from road. Note very high wild mustard growing close to the site.

Photo 3855. Drilling at SS05 View looking NE a few feet from the site (in the shade). Note Lee's super cranking technique!

Photo 3856. Drilling at SS05 View looking NE uphill toward TANK. Photo taken slightly downslope from the previous photo.

Photo 3857. Drilling at SS05 90 degrees from previous picture

Photo 3858. Drilling at SS05. View across the ravine. Photo taken from same spot as above.

Photo 3859. Drilling at SS05. View up the ravine. Photo taken from same spot as above.

Photo 3860. Drilling at SS04 View looking NE toward TANK. SS05 is in the clump of trees justs above Lee's head.

Photo 3861. Drilling at SS04 View looking NE toward TANK. Ditto.

Photo 3862. Drilling at SS04. Note that you might possibly follow fence to right as alternate (and easier) route to SS05, although I didnt' try this personally.

Photo 3863. Drilling at SS04 View looking SW toward Drill site. Lots of cattle near the watering tank.

Photo 3864. Drilling at SS04. The very last of the drilling, so the guys are looking pleased with themselves.

Photo 3865. At the drill site before heading back. Lee singlehandedly trying to destroy the drill head.
