The Tugen Hills drilling finished up on June 11th. The downhole logging continued and has been completed. We reached a depth of 228 meters, just shy of our original 250m target depth, but we may have reached further back in time than originally anticipated. If so, this will provide even more overlap for a great comparison to the northern Awash core. The downhole logging is also complete and the science crew is back in Nairobi. In the next few days we will be swapping out some project personnel and heading up to West Turkana on the 19th to begin the second phase of drilling. A festive evening capped off the end of the Tugen Hills drilling, which included some traditional dancers. So far, so good. Stay tuned for more updates from Nairobi and West Turkana!
