2013-10-24

I arrived about 9:30. It was a beautiful, cool, quiet morning with a strong breeze. The field is completely flooded. You will need boots to get to the tower. I came and went from the site a couple of times.

The box was void of critters, so I closed it up, but there will probably be a new infestation next time.

I brought two scaffolding boardwalks from the trailer area, but I did not have the supplies to install them.

I also brought some stakes with hooked ends to improve the tower footings, but did not install due to the flooding.

I cleaned the solar panels.
