Cab looks okay, just going to be not a lot of fun to get it out. What a bunch of hand work.

Need shovels with the bean counters name on them. That would stop that nonsense.

It could be dug out with a mini-ex, still take a minute or two.

Just heard from my contact that clean up was done by hand shovel and air guns. They did use the mini Ex as far as it could reach in from the front. That truck is hauling again right now. Broke a axle and blew some tires.

The moto at the mines in Northern Ontario is "All this and money too." Most of these mines are working at feverish paces because gold is about $3600 Canadian per once and the cost per once is around $1500 or less. Making a killing, this wont impact year end by much.

I have been in all 3 of the mines operating in the Wawa area. Wonder if it was Alamos, River Gold Mine ( Wesdome) or the old Magino Mine that my brother in law was just working at.
Workers making big bucks there.

For your information Dave, I worked at that place and not all the people there are playing with a full deck of cards. That is my full expanation of truck totally buried. Maybe brakes would not come off.
Will never have full, true story.
