7.30am
15.7 degrees, sunny though there are clouds on the horizon.
The
boys headed off to try and find the mines that Dave & Majella were looking
for last time.
Collected
some timber for the fire and I got the fire going in the shower block so I
could wash my hair. I washed out Steve’s detecting clothes and hung them with
the others out in the sunshine. There was a good breeze blowing too. Sent texts
to my boys to say hi.
The
clouds moved in and the wind has picked up so I put up the weather shield on
the side of the awning. Got all the washing dry.
Read
through the manuals that came with the Geo Maps program on my computer.
Steve’s
jeans had rips in them so I got out my needle and thread and did some repairs
while I chatted with Mum and Dad. Light rain has started to fall.
The
boys came back as the rain was getting a bit heavier. No gold where they tried.
The book they were following had GPS marks but different to the Long/Lat that
we are using. I had read about Northings and Eastings in the info I got so I
now know how to change it on the Hema and I marked the spots from the book. The
boys had nearly made it there so after the rain they will go back and check it
out.
Got
the 44 gallon drum fireplace going – even had flames out the top.
Sat
under the awning near the fireplace chatting then headed back into the van as
the rain started to get heavier.
Jeff
put on his generator so we connected into it and charged up everything. I
worked on my computer while Steve watched TV.
