Excavando un pozo en Puertecito, Oaxaca, Mexico "a mano" (sin maquinaria) con temperaturas acercando 100 grados f./38 c.
Entrando a la tierra en una búsqueda de agua dulce parece una búsqueda eterna de supervivencia.
El pozo rindió agua a los 4 metros/13 pies. 1500 galones de agua dulce (5676 litros) que se rellena a si mismo en unas pocas horas.
A los metros, un fragmento de una olla
A los 3 metros rocas con venas de lo que parece ser de un metal.
