Onsunset yesterday, El Fonzo Senior and El Fonzo Junior along with Dan Barrett and I spent a couple of hours raking of the edges of the trench. Under this baking Central Californian sun the trench is drying out after the excavation that took place on the 9th June.

‘Tempestas’ - Latin for Weathered.
Apparently the constant heat of around 100 - 110F is unusual for Parkfield in June. August is the Hot month. This week the weather forcast is projected to be around the 90’s. A cooler break will certainly be a welcome relief.
