It's been a rough few days. We deployed safely to Mistastin Lake shore via Twin Otter and the next day to our field site near the crater rim. It was a long day of slinging gear under the helicoptor but we got it all here. There's a cute bear cub living nearby, hopefully his mother isn't around. There was a huge storm in the night and it ripped the roof off our rover tent. Luckily we got it under control and nothing was damaged. The ROC6 is in good shape and we've done some dark navigation experiments already. We're all a little worried about Hurricane Irene as we may be in the track. Starting navigation experiments tomorrow.
