More of your questions

Hey Mr. Knoop! i have a question for you! here it is:

ok so when you were getting the samples of the orgainc matter did you dig past the permafrost? NO WE HAVE NOT GONE INTO THE PERMAFROST. THE PERMAFROST VARIES IN DEPTH AROUND HERE. IT COULD BE AS CLOSE AS 30CM TO AS DEEP AS 15METERS. WE HAVE BEEN USING SHOVELS TO DIG AT THIS POINT ONLY GOING DOWN ABOUT A MAX DEPTH OF 30CM, IF THAT DEEP. IT IS NOT DIFFICULT TO DIG AS THE LAND IS PRETTY SOFT, OR IN THE CASE OF THE FEN A WETLAND.
and how far did you dig and was it hard to dig? I would "dig" an answer! teehee! :)
