Today's Accomplishments: We unloaded the U-Haul truck and got things organized. Our work trailers will not come until tomorrow, so we were somewhat limited.  Supplies were purchased from Corinth, the U-haul truck was returned, and water pumps were picked up from Florence, Al.  Supplies for the rail system tracks that are to aid excavation at the mound were also dropped off at the base of the mound.  In the afternoon we began to assemble the tracks, and completed the portion of the track leading to the water screens on the summit of the mound.
The track sections laid out showing approximate route the railing system will take to the water screening area. The track sections laid out showing approximate route the railing system will take to the water screening area.
