Start Date

May 9th. That's when it all begins for this greenie. I'll only be doing my MSHA trainig but I will be onsite, so I'm excited for that. One thing that changes perspective and attitude is the fact that a miner has been trapped in Lucky Friday for 4 days now with no contact. 2 drillholes have been drilled and free air is entering the area but no sign of Larry Marek, yet. Keep faith and keep hoping and praying for him and family. Anyway, finals cannot come fast enough. I want to start ASAP at Lucky Friday. Field trip to Newmont's Leeville mine is Sunday; that will give me a little more hard rock exposure than last weeks Trona field trip. Updates to comes after Leeville.
