Bouldin Corn

Camilo and I arrived at 14:20. It was a sunny, warm, breezy, and mostly clear day one puffy cloud over Mt. Diablo. We had the first rains of the season yesterday. Our corn field has been mostly harvested, except for one patch in front of our tower where Tylerâ€™s chambers are. There was lots of harvest traffic on the dirt roads, and most of the fields south of us had been or were currently being harvested.

I removed the zcams and brought them back to the lab, although I forgot to power them down nicely through the web browser. I downloaded the phenocam data and swapped the water-level sensor desiccant. Camilo removed the 3 sets of soil sensors and the Theta soil moisture probe and put them under the tower (we did not install them in the weeds).

Eventually we want to move our tower back so that the farm workers can disk the weeds and plant right up to the edge of the field.

We left at 14:50.
