Description: Back inside the mine, Bruce and I had been working… Collecting is fun, pushing back the mineralized foot wall, not so much! It was tough, brutal work. But by doing it, we opened the pocket, developing a wider area to more comfortably and effectively work which additionally benefitted Bryan, allowing him more options for filming. This also created a fresh scar of barren drift on our left which creeped ever higher into the upper recesses of the Red River pocket. In this angled, near-vertical view, the hanging wall is on the top of the photo.
