Today was the seventh day at MDRS for the Phase II crew.

EVA: We (all but Kelly) took an out of sim EVA up along Hab Ridge to continue work on concretions and to look for moqui balls. We did not find them using the coordinates that we had been given. Then we (all but Stacy and Veronica) went up to Lith Canyon and found a terrific sapping site and I took them to a site of secret treasures that I discovered while part of Crew 4.

Crew Physical Status: The crew is fine and in overall good health.

Brief Narrative of Mission Results: Veronica, Stacy, Amber and Lindsay collected more samples, completed photodocumentation and a preliminary mapping of the stratigraphy of the Dakota Sandstone. Veronica has almost completed the lab inventory. I scouted sapping and halophile sites.

Plans for Tomorrow: Veronica and Amber, and Lindsay and Kelly, will be departing in the morning. Stacy and I will continue our field and lab work and prepare for the arrival of Crew 37 at 10 am tomorrow evening.
