This year's fresh earth moving for the whole DF weekend is in 5 different camps and is the most extensive ever....I for one will be one of the regulars that will be exploring these sites over the entire coming 12 months..
Impossible for just 100 diggers to clean out an area in two days....THEN..in 11 months when the finds are slowing down, I'll bring out my mega ton boulder moving equipment.

IF you wait for a rain to hunt,,,,you better be there when the last raindrop hits the ground otherwise you might see fresh footprints in the mud.

I've been checking WX.com every hour all day today ( Saturday 29th )...It was in the green all day with the exception of numerous times like right now ( 6:08 PM ) where C3 is in the red & yellow color The WX guru's had it right..monster rains...And Richard did well to put it off one week.

Here's a story that will endure with all the events of Digfest 12....

Numerous DF attendee Adrian..Flew in from VIRGINA ( the State ) Yesterday.
