Behold the Golden Mano. In years past, this rare artifact has served as a beacon to all who come to Digfest with hopes of finding the perfect point and to enjoy the company of fellow diggers. Here we are again on the doorstep of yet another gathering of the tribe. This years blessing is for rain to fall the week before to end the drought and to end the day before the fest so all may enjoy a fire. This year the Mano prediction is for a lucky someone to find a 4 inch perfect Angostera. Hal will take care of the mano's found and place them carefully by the tree. The Mano has spoken.

The Mano burns brightly this year. A sign that all will be good and everyone will have a grand time.

do not taunt the golden mano!

Long live the Golden Mano

We'll take all the blessings we can get
