Summary: Standard field work, went to the pond, met cow rancher

Vaira
2017-03-02

I arrived about 1pm with Siyan. It was sunny and warm. The surface has dried a bit but the pond is still spilling and the water hole is full. Grass seems happy, no trees on the trees. A rancher with a trailer full of cows came in the gate with us.

We did the standard data collection at the tower. All seems well. I reset the guy wire anchor on the tower that has been loose for a couple of years.

We went to the pond. The road surface was dry enough to drive all the way there. Coming back though, the cut just before the pond was too muddy to turn around in. I drove across the dam and turned around on the hill north of the pond.

The pond was at 22.26ft. I pounded in a couple of stakes at the spillway and marked the water height on them to map the spillway contours another time.
