Yesterday, I went to a parcel of land near Yerington with our church Boy Scout troup to help one of the young men complete his Eagle Scout project. We teamed up with a guide from the State of Nevada Div. of Minerals and we fenced off the exposed openings of eight abandoned mines.



The day started out great, with warm temperatures and no wind, but things turned quite windy and chilly right after lunch, and the next few hours were quite challenging for everyone. The wind gusts blew peoples' hats off, bottles of water away, and people over. Dirt and grit found their way into our eyes, nose, and lungs, but despite everything the project was completed in good time and with happy faces.

After returning home, I got a haircut at Wal-Mart.
