Following are Kurt's daily status reports during setup:
September 9
Travel from Boulder to Flagstaff
September 10
Penske 85% unloaded
NEAR sited in (anchors) and base plate installed
Base trailer sited
Tried to access FAR to install base plate and anchors, but way too wet, almost got stuck!
Gotta wait till it dries out - approx. 1/2 mile of submerged road (2 lane track) right around where the tower is supposed to go.
Talked to Brad Andes, he will get with me on Thursday.
Tomorrow is a busy day - set anchors for NEAR, and hopefully download all concrete blocks as well as generators and fuel bladders.
Very happy with progress so far, especially with the rain we are dealing with!
Talked to Ken as well; I told him to wait and see what progress we make tomorrow before coming up on thursday.
