17 May 2008, Bob and Jeff

Note by EKY, Bob and Jeff visited this site and found extensive bear damage. Data from 4/29 through 5/17 is bad. They were able to hook up the anemometer but we need a new cable. Soil sensors have been ripped out of ground.

• looks like they took off the SR50 with SN C4801 and put on SR50 with SN 4802
• took distance measurements with circle (cone) method, 2 ft out from sensor: N=117.7 cm, E=119, W=115, S=119.4
• I think the HMP45C was replaced (old SN B0110036 - new SN C11430045)
• fence looked in place
