More fun with rocks...

So, I lied...










We weren't completely finished with the exciting part of the excavation work on the tunnel.

Actually, the coolest part happened just this morning.

Check out the video:



No, Ryan didn't REALLY pull it off by hand!

Amazing when you realize the size of the rock - which only shows once you see the fellow standing in the scene. Clever little play with the guy pulling the rope in the video.

David Legge was the one on the face as the rock came down. He was using a porta-power (like a jack for pushing things apart) to open the crack in the rock. We knew it was going to go so it wasn't a surprize. Dave was safely tied in above the rock and simply needed to run up the rock as it fell. Cool though, huh?!
