Day 601:
Still digging, and it’s going well. I think, based on my estimates of distance, that I should be almost all the way out to the big mountain.
It helps that it turns out some of my deepest tunnels were already most of the way there. Part of the reason I know I’m close is because today I ran out of tunnel, dug straight up, and found myself nearer the mountain than I’d imagined.
It’s not as helpful that apparently mapping to scale is still not something I’m very good at.
The carding isn’t going as well. I’m still good at making nail-thickness iron, and still really bad at anything smaller. I might have to sit back and think about my technique for a day or two.
