Over 2000 feet!

Today we processed core below another milestone, to a depth of 2000.1 ft.  In addition, the core that was delivered at the end of the day was at least another 40 ft of rock that will await processing until tomorrow morning.

Here is a photo of some of the core processing in action.  Eric is drying the rock core with a heat gun so he can write a foot marker on it with permanent marker, while Katie is in the background rinsing drilling mud off the next run of core.  The white rectangle on the left side of the photo is the open cover of a core box that awaits insertion of the processed rock.
