[QUOTE="dezman, post: 89651, member: 1018"] Wow Karl, that's some round about story so far, looking forward to the rest of it. Yeah I can't sleep everyone and its 12.10 and some light rain is falling, I thought of driving in the dark as the wind will be up again in the morning. But iv no brakes on the van and the wet roads would make it a little scary. YES, I'm trying to push myself out there! Kicking and screaming like a little boy who is afraid, oh nothing worth doing is easy I know. Unbelievable that I meet a couple yesterday from Sweden and he was out at the ridge 29 years ago and knew the same guy I knew there. The miner we both knew had lent me a jack hammer to test the area I want to dig, but only found potch at the time. But since then I always thought I stopped to soon, but I couldn't afford a new hole in the deeper level under the fault. What a sign to keep going and make it out there. I know I'm complaining when I should be over the moon with excitement about it, I'm so lucky to be able to have another go at it. So I guess this thread could go anywhere and I really do hope to share the adventure here, I'm 48 and feeling every bit my age so it's now or never. Thanks everyone for the words of encouragement.
