Ludwigia Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 The temps are hovering just above 0°C. right now and there were snow showers predicted yesterday. Nevertheles, my wife noticed that I was beginning to show symptoms of cabin fever, so she just mentioned casually that I could take off if I felt like it. So I did. The Wutach is no place to hang out if snow is on the way, so I thought I'd take a chance with the Danube Valley again. There was a bit of snow in between, but just light sleet showers which were really no bother and none of it stayed on the ground, so digging was no problem. I didn't fancy the idea of bailing out the hole in the divisum zone again, so I walked down the ditch to my excavation in the hypselocylum zone and spent about 6 hours breaking rock. At the end of the day I was quite pleased with the spoils. I'm pretty sure that there should be some nice ones this time. I spent most of the day today cleaning up most of them with the stylus and tomorrow I'll be getting down to abrading them. Here's a photo of the ones I've done so far, which is already the majority of them. Still just a few smaller ones to remove from the matrix. 3 13 Greetings from the Lake of Constance.
