The latest ...

Our cemetery project is now in its final week. We have 2 days left with 2 burials to finish. We do have a reduced crew now but maybe we can still get done on schedule. Hopefully.

It may be tricky though. I've just finished the 4th day of work on my assigned burial and it is far from done. Its proving to be rather confusing. I've already expanded the unit twice trying to locate the actual burial and will have to do that for the third time again tomorrow. There is evidence that there once was a burial there but we just can't define its exact location, let alone find the burial itself. Its become rather frustrating.

Anywho, I did get a few photos that I can pass along after all. Permission was given to take pictures from a distance so at least I can share enough to show how the overall site has changed since we first started here. Here is what the cemetery looks like presently.




Looks quite a bit different from the last images I posted.

We are working in the tents you see primarily because of privacy concerns. The excavation of the burials is not open to public viewing. But they also helped us a great deal last week when it was cold and windy.

Also, the local Greenwood newspaper printed an article about the project last week. I can't post a link to the actual article because a subscription is required but the photos they took are available online for free. You can see some of what we are doing inside the tents by going to these images ... Image 1 ... Image 2 .

So that is the current state of affairs; Trying to get this project wrapped up in the next 2 days.

As far as I know presently, I'm off to Santa Claus next week. That project was supposed to have begun today but was postponed until Monday. Still waiting for confirmation on that though. If it should get moved back again, well, I suppose I'll be back working in Fort Wayne for the duration. Not necessarily a bad thing.
