jayToday we began drilling tests... also got a repeater up so we have net coverage in the crater, and a magazine wants an article in their next week's issue. We worked until 9:30pm, but I'm pretty happy with the day.

Cracker supports The tripods were all too high, so we resorted to mounting the lasers on stacks of 5-year-old vending machine snack crackers, duct-taped to a Pelican case... |

Repeater installed I helped C. install a repeater on Haynes Ridge, shown here. After C. and S.'s efforts, it worked and now we'll have net coverage down into the crater. |
 |
Saxifrage Arctic summer blossoms... these are more commonplace inside the crater, while the outside is very barren. |

Thanks also for the saxifrage photo. The color is startling after all the grey.
