Notes
We sampled at the usual location, taking all required parameters mostly without issue. The creek was flowing somewhat higher and faster due to recent rainfall, but this did not pose a problem for us. However, the repaired sampling pole started to break when attaching the sampling cup, so we just reached into the water as far as we safely could. As per usual, we removed batteries from the conductivity meter after sampling and put them in the waterproof phone case within the kit.
