AS 12-49-7286 - Working at Halo

133:25:41 MT - Al is hammering a double core tube at a geology stop near Halo Crater. He has driven in all of the lower section and most of the upper by this time. The crater beyond the core tube is not Halo. Note that Al is using the flat of the hammer. Because of the stiffness of the suit, it is difficult to control the swing and, by using the flat, he is more certain of actually hitting the top of the extension handle. Al is wearing a "saddlebag" on his left hip and, beyond it, we can see part of the Hand Tool Carrier or HTC. We can see good detail of Al's camera handle and trigger which, unbeknownst to the crew, has started to come loose.
