Today, we moved into our new lab tent! The new tent is amazing
– it’s much larger than the old tent, as well as being brighter since it is
made with beige canvas instead of green canvas. It was very, very relieving to
be able to finally move the data and surviving equipment out of KBR and into a
tent, and to be able to check on the samples and top up the LN2 tank.

We moved the solar panels to a new spot closer to the lab
tent, and rewired the lab and kitchen tent. The wiring had taken a beating
during the flood, and required a lot of cutting and splicing to get a clean set
of wires. By that evening, however, we had two more working battery sets in
camp, and we were able to begin charging our phones and other electronics
again.
