It's important to remember that the Open Cut is comprised of porous rock so water goes right to the lab.larry kurtzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06855417104900624838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31079809771482270.post-33292744846288548702010-10-04T01:03:36.177-07:002010-10-04T01:03:36.177-07:00Lead will hang on simply because it can't not ...Lead will hang on simply because it can't not hang on! This town (my home town) is unannihilable.<br /><br />If I remember (quite a chore these days, with all the books in process) I'll float this idea around town and see what sorts of devils' advocates I can scare out from under the rocks.<br /><br />Sounds like a cool idea, if the nature of the terrain will support it. (Someone suggested that the slopes are sliding.) Cool -- figuratively and literally, like my idea of getting some of those South Beach (Miami) models up here to do fashion shoots in front of the Open Cut. All the cooler if it's covered with ice.Stan Gibiliscohttp://members.authorsguild.net/stangibnoreply@blogger.com
