I arrived at about 17:00 PDT. While I was at Tonzi today, Charlotte texted to say that the power was going out at BC. I stopped to check on things.

It was just getting dark and some duck hunters pulled in after me in their ATV. They said that they haven’t seen any ducks yet and only got some Canada geese. Maybe the warmer fall has kept the ducks further north.

There was a little bit of water in the field to our north, but our field was dry. All the power was on and I didn’t see any problems. I taped a connection between the two extension cords hoping I wasn’t trapping more water in than preventing more from entering.

I collected our flux data to see the power outages that Charlotte was talking about. They seem to be very short restarts – probably won’t affect our data much. Something must be browning out the power for very short periods. Might be happening upstream at the duck club.

I left at about 17:15
