Eighth day in the field!

Today we woke up a little later than usual because we all needed the extra rest after the very long day yesterday. We met up for breakfast, packed our lunches and packed up the truck. In the morning we started off with visiting some of Ellie’s sites and attempting to remove two of the sensors. We successfully removed one of them and set up the GNSS at it. After that we sampled another site and then headed to our site of the day, Thaw Pit 6. Unfortunately I (Chris) couldn’t go in the field with everyone today due to hurting my ankle while hiking through the tundra yesterday but the others trekked to our very last thaw pit of our trip! They laid out and shot all our points in roughly 2 hours, it was really windy so shooting points was more difficult but they got it done! We’re now headed to finish up Ellie’s sites and wrap up our second to last work day! Hopefully tomorrow we can make it back for hot dinner!
