Hurricane Irene did not end up being much of a storm in the end, mostly just a lot of rain. Today is sunny but with low winds so the bugs are terrible again. The good news is that we tested our appearance-based lidar visual navigation quite a bit today, with about 1 km of autonomous driving up and down some fairly extreme terrain including summiting on a nearby ridge overlooking camp and Mistastin Lake. We'll join the larger lunar mission simulation beginning tomorrow.
