We recovered many runs today, but unfortunately most of them were very short and composed mainly of rubble. These results are a combination of the unconsolidated nature of the rock and a bit that may be wearing down. When we recover the next run later tonight, the decision will be made whether or not to change the bit. Aloha to the UH Hilo Introductory Geology class that visited the site today, next week remind me to take a picture of the group for our site! At the time of this update, we are currently at a depth of 10,380'.
