Summary: Measured sonic boom angle and veg height, took well measurements, normal data collection.

Arrived at 9:10. Warm, sunny, windy, clear sky with fog on the horizon. Field was very dry and the dry riverbed was covered in mineral deposits. Well was completely dry.

Some of Bruce's people were out there when we arrived and had started to build the boardwalk to our tower from the berm. They intended to build the boardwalk from the berm to the solar panels and then a second one from there to the tower.

Methane wash water reservoir filled, was nearly full. Collected USB GHG data, collected met data from CR1000, collected camera data. Removed CF card â€œTAâ€ and replaced with new CF card. Cleaned solar panels.

Measured sonic boom angle: 355 degrees from magnetic north, 9 degrees from true north.

Took well measurements:
Well depth: 147.5 cm
Well height above ground: 46 cm
Top of well to water pressure sensor: 131 cm

Took vegetation (mainly pepperweed) height in cm: 84, 89, 99, 95, 90, 85, 87, 102, 114, 93.
