Time to install the site! As soon as light conditions allowed, we loaded up a few snow machines and sleds and began retracing our tracks to the future site. The day was relatively warm as temperatures hovered around -10F with a slight breeze and light snowfall. It’s a good thing we had the trained eye of Tony on Bear guard duties because visibility wasn’t much more than a quarter mile. We worked diligently under the bleak lighting and had the site 90% completed within four hours. Time and daylight allowed for further work, but the low temperatures and lack of lunch weighed heavier in our decision to repack and head back into town, to service the coastal radar.
