We installed the pedestal and fork at Site #1 this morning. We got the primary mirror cell/center section/focus housing stack loaded onto the flatbed and up to the site for installation this afternoon, but a thunderstorm came through so we covered everything with a tarp and called it a day. We will get back to work tomorrow morning.

Here are a few photos of today's activities.
