Packout

This summer's weather has been crazy. Right now it has been way too hot during the day to do anything without getting heat stroke and thunderstorming at night (which means no tire pounding; if you use wet dirt then as it dries there will be airspace and the tires won't be fully compacted). We've started on the second round of packout (using a cement mixture to fill in the tire walls so they're flat).
We're trying to focus on the parts of the wall where the buttresses will go, because those need to be flat enough that the cement won't be able to escape when the buttresses are being poured.
