Overburdened?

We were told the overburden dumps were "large" but even so, the reality surpassed our expectations.  Huge or massive may well have been better descriptions!

Some people do well noodling/fossicking through the rubble but we weren't so lucky.  We didn't stay long though (and Erin stayed in the car with Keegan) as it was hot and the white-rock glare was quite strong, even mid-afternoon.  Perhaps on another occasion we will be better prepared to find our fortune!
