The winters loads of snow are melting. The rocks are exposed again after months of darkness. The sun is shining onto the rubble. Its time again to walk up the path of the miners. May there be the green reflection ...

23-28 April, Habachtal Dig. Short one, I know. But we will be the first to search the field this year ;-)

If anyone is interested, PM.

Yours sincerely,

Gimli ;-)

You are somewhat right fellow digger: It´s quite early. A lot of risks due to natural hazards around ... but still ... all those newborn emmies want to get baptised :-)

There will be one or two more digs this year Tim, and it would be a pleasure to have you (&B!) on board again ...

Just talked to some locals - too much snow in the upper parts of the valley, so emmie digging is delayed due to high avalanche risks. Will mine for different minerals in the lower altitude parts of the region.
