Dirt and Views from Mid December Field Work

A bit short of content and posts due to work and travel and field time. The last two days were classic western Washington mid winter field days - a bit wet, a bit windy and the days are really short. Work was a mix of figuring out dirt and with cloudy views.

Test pit digging to confirm or disprove a theory
