Tear-down prep

Preparing:

inventory: job boxes (3 in storage), manfrottos, otts (5 in lidar trailer, 1 in base), shts (only 13 in base), ???
TT license plates (now in base) (dcs now done)
OTTs to base from lidar trailer
break cables out of ice (3 spots for DCS)
pack up battery charger
pack up soil oven

Timing:

~~Steve runs to Logan to pick up repaired sonics?~~. The repairs have been delayed.
All drives to/from site (especially TTs) should occur in the morning, when the ground is harder. Perhaps this means caching stuff on site and removing the caches in the mornings?
Steve already there; Clayton arrives 2/23 (last day of ops)
- tear down entire site into pickup and Penske; transfer pickup stuff into base
  - start with satellites, since Sebastian won't be available Thurs AM
  - remove heating stuff from CSATs
  - add washers to CSATs?
  - good luck removing soils!
  - figure out how to pack NR01s with ventillation systems
- provide some assistance to remove PI sensors
  - sort out NCAR vs. UU radiometers/ventillators (relatively easy: CVF3s to UU, CVF4s to us; Bindered sensors to us, rest to UU)
  - return HRXLs to UU – just cut cables?
  - return CS125s (DC is ISS's – E3412)
- packing:
  - Rohn towers/bases/guys to 16' Penske
  - solar/job box to 26' Penske
  - manfrotto/square booms to 26'
  - other booms (including all TT) to 16'
  - cables sorted to base
  - DSMs to 16'
Dexter available 3/1ish; Tony, Chris arrive 3/2ish
- move solar panels, job boxes, manfrottos, etc from 16' to 26' Penske
- coil up supersite power cables, pack in 16' Penske
- help remove cc solar panels, if not already done
- remove fencing to 16'
- pull TTs out to BW road, if not already done
someone pulls Ubiquiti from school roof
need to pull out everything from DCS by 1 Mar

Need to arrange:

Trailer Transit for base to SWEX (Dan did, pickup on 4 Mar afternoon)
- loaded with
  - all sensors
  - a few CFACT DSMs as spares
  - cell modems pulled from CFACT DSMs
Trailer Transit for TTs back to Boulder (Dan did, 26', pickup on 4 Mar from BestWestern)
Penske from Boulder to bring SWEX infrastructure (Dan did, pickup 2/28 from Loveland)
- PAM tripods; booms; clamps
- more job boxes/batteries?
- SWEX DSMs
Penske in Heber to return to Boulder (Dan did, 16', pickup 2/23 from Strawberry). Load infrastructure directly into this.
- power cables/transformers
- Rohn towers
- thermocouple motes
- anything dead (solar panels with bad connectors, etc.) "bad stuff"
- v2.7 stuff, Kipp&Zonens, CVF4s and cables
- bulk of CFACT DSMs
- round booms

Issues:

Organized by location:

Site-by-site:

	road	carry	power	job boxes	ladder	comments	order
lc	muddy	medium	light AC, some digging and lots of ice/snow	1	6'	straightforward, better in AM extra clamp on mast
cc	snow crust (use snowmobile!)	drive up?	solar (10 racks), break ice/snow	3	no
dc	ok	drive up	light AC, ice/snow	1	no	straightforward
sp	driveable	drive up	light AC, some snow/ice	1	no	straightforward, better in AM	2
sh	paved	drive up	light AC, snow/ice	1	no	straightforward	1
mh	icy patches (use chains), open bike gate	drive up	light AC, snow/ice	1	3'
pc	paved	shortish	light AC, some digging, no snow	1	no	straightforward	4
up	driveable	drive up	solar (2 racks), no snow	1	no	access when frozen
mw	ok	short	light AC, no snow	1	6'	straightforward	3
prs	muddy	drive up	heavy AC, transformers, no snow	2	8'	a lot of work, plus fence	5
dcs	muddy	drive up	heavy AC, transformers, break ice 3 spots	2	8'	a lot of work, plus 3xfences	6

Anything muddy, plan to drive in/out in morning. Rent a UHV to shuttle in and out of MH and CC?
