After being bored to death at camp, the first few diggers began to straggle back to camp, first they chewed me out for not coming up the mountain, then they showed me some of their finds:
Lees base camp.
Maitri stopped by with her new rockhound "Stella".

I was starting to feel a little famished, starving as usual, I went on the hunt for food, but before I could round up a fine selection of junk food, Nancy and Ron saved the evening with a big pot of chili.
Dinnertime!
