Searching with a shovel

Did I mention I had to dig a big trench to get ready for the propane guys (who have yet to show up?) of course, I didn't have the metal detector to find the pipe, so I ended up digging about 10 extra feet, as I thought the pipe was much further north than it was.

here you can see the pipe; all the extra trench to the shovel was just exercise. whee.
