Next, tore down DC. Soils were even harder, since the popsicle sticks themselves were buried. Hot water trick helped, but still took perhaps 3 man-hours. All probes recovered. The ISS CS125 was loaded into the lidar trailer.
Next, tore down MW (in just 1 hr!). Soils were easier, since top 2 cm were thawed. However, managed to chop through the Gsoil sensor cable twice (itself, already repaired earlier). Other 3 sensors were okay.
A long day, but good progress and a great team.
Tomorrow is forklift day. Plan to hit PRS, then DCS for fenceposts, power, and other cleanup, then remove CC. I hope this works! I guess the worst case is we rent it for a second day.
