One of our first tasks of the season is to head up to Black Lake to check on Jen's stuff and get some monitoring equipment in the water. Its a two day trip and we overnight in a bear hunter's cabin. The accommodations are spartan but it keeps us dry.
Jen keeps her weather station on a cabin at Black Lake (different from the one we stay in). After downloading the data from the winter and re-powering the station we break for lunch in the lee of the cabin.
Our season opening crew includes Jen, Conrad, Lindsy, and Curry (left to right).
After the weather station is in, we install water height gauges and conduct flow measurements in the Alec River (a tributary of Black Lake). This involves stringing a steel cable across the river and making depth and flow measurements every meter from side to side.
