08/30/2018: John at his new office in the Mississippi River!
09/08/18: Amy and John mounting the solar panels. Also helping were John Dingley (pictured), Richard Meredith, and Calvin and Eric from the Refuge.
08/04/18: Joe directs the pole install. The pole was belayed on earth anchors that were screwed into the ground. He used an x-shaped brace and poles to help put it into place and keep the ground crew safe.
And some of the older photos of the install:
8/4/18: Getting the first pole ready for hoisting! It was lifted in the cross brace, slid forward until it hit the end of the hole, and hoisted and pulled into the air.
7/31/18: Kendra, Calvin, and Jake from US Fish and Wildlife helped us get the poles out to the island in their large pontoon!
8/4/18: Leaving the island after a job well done!
