Comments
Extremely warm out. Avg 9c and mid teens in full sun. Changed our objective to a north slope which received less sun (more agreeable angle of incidence anyway) and which was ultra low angle with no overhead hangfire. Curiously, did not witness any active Avi activity, but evidence all around from day prior. Fair amount of pinwheeling today in the full sun. Early retreat back to truck.
