For all intensive purposes we finished up with the cemetery on schedule. A couple of the guys were to go back this week for some last minute details and to wrap things up but I'm not involved with that. I've moved on.
I'm now sitting in Tell City, Indiana waiting for a new project to begin. It would have started today except for the rain which kept us out of the field. Maybe tomorrow. Regardless, I'm still getting paid for the waiting. :D
What we'll be working on (once we get started) will be a mile-long stretch of road along which a new water line is to placed. Of course, this line is going right through multiple prehistoric sites. We are being tasked with going in and removing all artifacts, and collecting other relevent data, prior to its destruction by the the water line placement. We are supposed to be done by Christmas but, given the weather at this time of year, that probably won't happen. In that case, the project will likely be shut down until spring. Either way, I'll need to have a new gig lined up to start right around the holiday season. Ideally it will be somewhere further south but a return to Fort Wayne is always a possibility. I've already started looking at the options a bit.
But for the duration southern Indiana will keep me busy. Except for plans already made, I'll most likely be staying here over the weekends as well. The company I'm working for will pay for weekend lodging and provide per diem so why not take advantage of it. Saves driving time, wear and tear on the car, and puts a little more cash in my pocket.
I'll be back once this job actually gets going.
