Fifth Day: Diggin' the Privy
Friday, July 15Today Wayne Lusardi and Andy Weir continued with
measuring and mapping the main and boat houses, while
Don Weir, Stephen Riordan
and I worked on the privy. We took photos of it, then Stephen and I took
turns measuring it while Don drew it. In the middle of it I left Don and
Stephen to complete the documentation while I went with
Dr. Sheli O. Smith
to take circular shots of the island to give the views of the site -- a
picture of the whole area that we are working on. After that it was
around noon time so we all took a break for lunch and we just hung out and
took in the breezes -- we don't get those too often. After lunch I
continued working with Don on the privy and we dug it up to see if there
was anything underneath. It ended up being a bust and we found nothing.
That kind of put a dent in our day, but overall it was a good day and we
got a lot of work done.

day.
Lunch time was one of our favorite times of the day.
It’s a time were we all can just relax, take in the breezes (when we get
one, which isn't often), and have a good time talking. Everyone usually
just packs a sandwich or two, brings some drinks and a little extra snack
to munch on. This is a time where we can all talk about anything. Mostly
we talk about what went on during the morning and if we found anything.
This was also a good time for us to crack jokes and just have a good time.
