Do not walk on the bridge as it is crooked and closed. The monitoring location is on the right side of the bridge, which is upstream. Moderate vegetation with a semi-steep approach. Long pants are recommended, and bug spray as well.
Lots of garbage around, including plastic and aluminum cans and some fishing lures.

Do not walk on the bridge. Monitor from the right side of the bridge, which is upstream. Lots of overgrown vegetation and mosquitoes; dress accordingly. This location is in the forest area; therefore, not recommended to go solo.

A bridge to access to the location is closed. Monitor upstream from the bridge when you access the location from Herkimer St @ Carpin Beach Rd.
Lots of mosquitoes around, can't monitor peacefully without bug spray. After the monitoring, while cleaning the conductivity meter with a towel, I got electrocuted. The area of my finger was turned red, almost purple. During the excursion, a lot of static electricity was in the atmosphere due to the storm.

Reached to the new location according to the GPS coordinates given by SSMRCA. The surrounding area of the river is still covered in snow. The road is above the river level so that could be difficult to access the river. There is no safe area to park the vehicle so this could be challenging.

The site is currently inaccessible for water monitoring due to deep snow accumulation. Herkimer St is not plowed, so don't have access to the site from Carpin Beach Rd.

The water was much lower than last time, reaching the water from the bank was tricky. The microwave in the water and a window from from a camper trailer became visible in the water as a result of the low level. There was no wildlife to speak of during this visit, likely due to the high winds and difficult weather.
