Purpose:
The objectives of this EVA were to test the water in Pinto Canyon for enteric bacteria and test the rocks around Big Boulder Corner for radioactivity.
Narrative:
We left the hab around 11am and headed toward Pinot Canyon. After a bit of a drive we arrived at the canyon and had to leave our ATVs behind and hike the rest of the way. Once we had walked about 15 minutes we found a sufficient source of water and took 50 ml samples for testing. As we walked farther into the canyon we found a white deposit and took samples of that as well. After leaving the canyon we headed to Big Rock Corner to test for radioactive rocks. When we tested the rocks at Big Rock Corner we found very few with enough radioactivity to register on our geiger counter. After we got back to the hab we tested the water samples and the cultures are still incubating. We also determined the white deposit to be either calcite or halite.
