Drove from Boulder and dropped everything at the site:

  • U-Haul made it just fine since the road (despite being quite rutted) was mostly dry.  The drive took a bit under 6 hours, FLAB-to-field, including a gas break, a construction detour, and 2 construction flagger stops via Hwy285 and Cottonwood Pass.
  • Completely emptied the U-Haul with 3 people in about 90minutes
  • Completely emptied the bed of the the silver truck to make a pile of PI sensors, including the snow pillows
  • Picked up the Manta Ray installation kit and completely emptied the bed of the white truck by depositing this stuff at the site
  • Confirmed the tower locations as flagged during site survey
  • Gave a tour for Erik (head of RMBL operations), who was pleased
  • Started filling up a room at the RMBL lab with extra stuff (food/Leica/straps/plywood).  Erik will try to find an empty cabin for us to store empty boxes/tubs.
  • Done by 5pm, checked into hotel and took the (free) bus into town for dinner and grocery shopping


  • No labels
