• Directions: This site is located north of the southern line in Argentina, near the ski resort of Las Lenas. Follow the road leading to Las Lenas and stop at the Gendarmia outpost, the site is in back of the guardhouse against the mountain.
• Miscellaneous: The Gendarmia guys at this stations are really cool and always allow us to stay inside their guardhouse. It is best to call ahead and let them know in advance of a site visit however. They like to party so make sure to bring vino with you. This station is installed right up against a rock face here so the sky coverage is not great. Solar panel pole may not be as stable here as other stations owing to personnel problems during construction, but should be fine nonetheless.
