View of PVN from the southwest

PVN is on a grassy, south facing hillside used for grazing on the north end of Potter Valley. The aspect is ~177 deg and slope is ~4 deg. PVN is within the boundary of the 2018 Mendocino Complex Fire.

  • Stay in Ukiah and drive to Potter Valley.
  • Lots of wasp activity, bring Raid wasp killer.
  • Beware of cows and close all gates to keep the cows in.
  • Parking next to the site is not advised as a spring on the south side of the site keeps the area very muddy and could get your vehicle stuck.
  • Bring a ladder since the enclosure is far off the ground.
  • Make sure you have connections for RS232 because the datalogger is a CR1000.
