Dan and Josh 

Dan and Josh 

Preseason Day 13

Tracy Hoffman June 5, 2015

Lots of activity today with everyone working in the compound. It started with Josh, who will be running the compound this summer, and Dan organizing the space and strategizing compound days. 

Annual Tool Draft

Annual Tool Draft

It continued with the annual tool draft. Grid and square supervisors spent the morning sorting tools, selecting the best picks (perhaps the most important tool of all) and generally getting their grid supplies organized. Wheelbarrows were filled, buckets distributed and the "good" brushes sorted from the "bad" brushes.

Trent checking drawings

Trent checking drawings

Undaunted, Trent continued checking objects against drawings in a race to make sure the tables are cleared ahead of digging on Sunday. We are off tomorrow and then Sunday, bright and early, we start the 2015 field season.
