Daphne and I arrived at about 11:00 PST. It was a mild and sunny fall day with some high thin clouds. Rain is coming later this week but they aren’t sure on amounts or timing. Things look moist here, not so crispy and green grass is more wide spread than last time.

Daphne measured the well. I collected the flux, met, camera and FD data. All looked well.
The 7500 read: 438.7ppm CO2, 362.1mmol/m3 H2O, 25.1C, 99.5kPa, 112.6SS
SS is high, not sure why.

We went to the pond. Last time I noticed that the lowest staff gauge seemed to be missing and the second lowest one had its bottom buried in mud. I dug out the bottom of the second one. After poking around in chest deep water near the first one I discovered that the staff gauge hadn’t fallen off but was just covered in muck making it nearly indistinguishable from the wooden post. I scrubbed off the top of the gauge. The water level was just below the top at 13.50ft

We left at about 12:00 noon.
