Watching the Discovery Channel guys in the helicopter, flying over base camp a few miles away, leaning against the orange dome tent. We have a wireless link set up from here... it does seem slightly surreal to be able to glance at LJ, out here. DC is coming out here in a couple of hours to film the drilling. Then we finish at 1pm, get lunch, and take down this satellite camp.

Made it to 2.1m into the frozen breccia before ending the drilling at 1pm today.

The satellite camp above Trinity Lake is broken-down, packed, and everything moved back to base and is ready for shipping southward.

Today... lots of filming. A Discovery Channel documentary slated for fall 2006 came by the drillsite this morning... I was testing a wireless access point I'd just set up, posting to LJ when the helicopter buzzed us behind me. Later, they returned... I had to pretend to ask vaguely-intelligent questions of other team members, and look soberly at the drill. Synthetic reality...
