Weather: Cool and foggy morning on the south side of the ridge. Stratocumulus and warm once we reached Sedgwick.
Tasking:
- S14 (Sedgwick Reserve) teardown. Their sign in procedure is similar to previous visits, the only difference being the check-in station is now a tent by the main building. All sensors appeared operation during a cursory check. Issues found at teardown include:
- Bulgin cable for the radiometer tripod that Leila replaced was destroyed in a few spots, did not appear to be chew marks. Potentially stomped by an animal? There is sometimes a donkey about.
- Copious amounts of wasps made their way into the battery box. We should try to insect proof the bulkhead holes in the bottom better.
- Helped ISS lower and disassemble their mast at Cachuma Lake on the way back to base.
Plan for tomorrow:
- S3 (El Capitan Canyon) teardown. Mack is planning on coming out with us, the help is much appreciated since this site has a long carry.
