Provincial Expectations Strategy

Brett is working on a plan to implement to two forks of our strategy.

Equipment

The MCP was parked in the wrong spot because its normal spot was taken up upon return from the search. Because it was parked on the north fence, it was blocked in by worker's vehicles. Brian will work to move it back to the right spot. In the future we should put pilon in place when we take it so that the spot is not lost before we return.
