11 11  * If the area looks like a place that has flooded, or may flood again, absolutely assume that it will. This very much includes dry riverbeds or ponds. Always prefer locally elevated terranes.
12 12  * The harder the soil, the better the signal. Sand and mud are your enemy.
13 -* Grass can often grow high enough to block your solar panel from sun. If possible, clear an area in front of the panel to minimize this possibility.

52 52  * Consider using fireproof covers for the logger. This will have the added benefit of reducing soil contact, especially dirt getting into SD card slots. A permeable cover will avoid trapping rainwater ~-~- a problem associated with plastic tarps, which damages the logger and attracts insects/animals (ants, centipedes, snakes, etc.). We are still testing materials for suitability in the field (e.g., safe and tolerable degradation in the environment).
