Equipment Failure, Day Two

Well, still no generators, so we had to do something else. There are some markers to survey, so that was our job today. It was fun walking around a lot, but was on and off very cold. Each time we found the marker there was about twenty minutes of standing with the precision GPS talked to the satellites. But we found a broken PVC pipe with a bit of cloth wrapped around the end, and a bamboo pole with a flag on it that had fallen down. So, a few bungee cords later, I got to play Don Quixote with the ATV. If the winds and clouds are still bad tomorrow, we won't get the new generator, and we'll be sitting around doing nothing until we do. No new pics tonight, connection's bad and I'm exhausted. However, if you're counting, I've taken 345 of them now. :P
