=====Teller Surface Water=====
* download data
* replace desiccant
* discharge measurement with salt slug
* Need to secure solar panel before winter with nails
* YSI conductivity meter

=====Teller Top=====
* download data
* change transducers for snow depth sensors
* relevel radiometer

====Council====
* If time allows Amy Breen has some plots that need surveying and thaw depths

=====Council C1 Grid=====
* Would be great to visit C1 site and download data
* Redrill hole for C1 Grid temperature probe
* sr50a swap out?

=====C2 Blueberry=====
* Download Data

====Kougarok====
=====Kougarok Mile 64=====
* Download Data
* don't really need snow depth here it would seem but just double check all measurements and relevel radiometer / precip
* Amy Breen has a number of points to be surveyed here. She'd like thaw depths for all we're able to visit.

=====Kougarok 10m tower=====
* A station visit to would be awesome even for just 2 hours to double-check site in anticipation of it being used for the disturbance study.
* Mandatory download data though even if by radio
** If we visit I'll put a storage module back at the site so it's less pressing.
* level precip bucket
* level radiometers
* replace radiometer desiccant
