We have been logging for the last two days while the DES crew has tried to fix the drilling rig. Unfortunately, the is still not fully functional, so we are in delay until we can obtain replacement parts for the rig. As our driller Tim put it, "the drill won't drill." Simultaneously, we are working extremely hard to communicate our research to the local communities, who are very concerned about environmental impacts on the lake. We are making progress, but slowly. In light of these developments, rather than work photos I am posting some shots from Chris, Marina, and Ryan of the plants and animals that live in this beautiful, beautiful place. We hope you enjoy them. (TDP on facebook)
