a substantial day ;-)
Aug. 2nd, 2004 01:15 amThe traverse today went well... weather was overcast, drizzle or snow, but I got my data. We started off at the drill site, then drove across the crater to Tripod Hill where we had lunch and Pascal took annual photos of mass flow on the facing slope. Then into the Haughton River valley... shades of 1998-99. Two people stuck their ATVs in the mud. Old base camp could be recognized by the rings of rocks left where tents were. Then up to Bruno Escarpment, looking out over the valley... then to Anomaly Hill, where I ran a grid of gravity stations over a 2km x 1 km rectangle covering the known magnetic field anomaly.
Then back to camp... took seven hours total, probably 20 miles. After I arrived, I went in to check email and got a call from the space station (last entry). Then dinner, then a small discussion about future project plans, then watched the evening movie "Apollo 13".
Tomorrow... weather should improve, maybe a long traverse to the west...
