Location, location, location...
Greetings enthusiasts! We have been scotting locations for deployment of the field systems and have two potential sites selected. We are working to better understand the sites, accessibility, 4G/5G coverage area, weather, and so on as we co-develop the platforms.
Our Ohio area site was generously offered by Eric Kraus of Standing Rush LLC standingrush.blogspot.com. The site is actually in Sandusky, OH, and is a privately owned and restored wetland area, hugging a south east section of the Sandusky bay. Standing Rush LLC was foudned as a conservation real estate company, specializing in biological restoration and long term perservation of ecologically sensitive ares in Ohio. In 2015, Standing Rush secured over 600 acres of land and water on the south shore of Sandusky bay. The company was founded on the premise that responsible lives are lived through responsible stewardship of our land and water. They back projects that help ensure lasting habitat protection and conservation, support ecological functions, encourage education, and foster sustainable and responsible recreation.
The actual area, shown in the center indicator, is a 40 acre rest pond that is closed to recreational activities such as hunting and fishing that has been described as a very clear, 3-4 ft deep body of water that has been restored with native plants and animals, and represents the last are in which run-off is filtered before entering the bay.
Our second site we are in discussions, but have it narrowed to one of the protected inlets near the Watermen's museum in Yorktown, VA, new the mouth of the York RIver to the Chesapeake Bay.
We'll be posting soon with more details of these two sites, so stay tuned!
