Carpenter Heroes

9/29/2015

Justin and I went out to our field site on Saturday to refuel the generator powering our water current profiler. Conditions were rather nasty out. When we arrived at the site, we were seriously impressed by the progress the USAP carpenters had made in assembling the bot house on top of the ARTEMIS culvert.

We refueled the generator, snapped a few photos, and jumped back into our warm Pisten Bully while these heroes continued building. "Another day at the office," they said cheefully.
