The coring continues - and we are back after hiatus ...
Brady measuing core.. Information will be input into DIS.

The coring continues - and we are back after hiatus in posts - due to GSA Rocky Mountain-Cordilleran, held in Logan, Utah, 17-20 May, and the US Continental Scientific Drilling Workshop, held at NSF in Arlington VA 23-24 May. Going great at site (30-50 meters per day) up until 21 May, when we started to have problems with slipped core, broken altered rock, and the tophead drive. Finally back on track with 38.4 meters on 30 May. Getting close to Total Depth.
