Campus wide inspection, if action taken, what and why? I went to repair what I thought were a few areas where the wire holding the cattle panels needed replacing and I discovered that much of the wire has rusted and broken off and so much of the tunnels need replacement wire. I did some today.

Summary of Outpost operations: Got the rest of the work party trash materials on the trailer except for the things that were too big for me to handle alone.
