Pad Construction - Day 27

The day started off with more rain and it looked like the only dirt moved at the well pad site was moved with manual excavators (A.K.A. shovels).



By noon the rain had stopped and the cloudy skies had cleared by early afternoon.



The afternoon sunshine was too little, too late, to dry up the water soaked clay soil.



The afternoon sunshine was good news for three snakes as they warmed their ectothermic bodies on the erosion control netting. The sunshine didn't last long and by late afternoon a thunderstorm rumbled through.
