We flew over the Andes and stopped here, there and everywhere and ended up in Brasilia, Brazil

Brasilia: What is that? A termite mound and hard as steel.
Where are we putting the site? You're looking at it!

Brasilia: Looks like the termites are building that mound again...

Brasilia: What a nice pad for the PC1000 camera. When is the geodetic dome arriving?
Most likely after our mission is completed at this location.
Do you really think they send those domes to the field?

Brasilia: During a daily visit we noticed a dent in the side of the camera which was
stored inside the trailer. We also noticed a bullet hole in the door.

Brasilia: Here is a good picture of the dented camera and the bullet on top.
Good news, no animals were hurt or mistreated during this mission, including termites!
The camera continued to work just fine but soon after we moved to Natal, Brazil to set up a new site.

Natal, Brazil: Wow, look at all this stuff, now where are the instructions on how it all goes together?

Natal, Brazil: Well good to see we have a shortage of geodetic domes again.
Did you get trained in tents? nope....
