When the shipment finally arrives, we will have to escort it up the so-called "ALMA road" (our own road is too rough for a large truck). This process involves navigating the behemoth ALMA safety scheme, including providing advance notification of our use of the road, having the truck drivers undergo a brief physical and radio to "la seguridad" every 10km.

Waiting, and ALMA
As I may have mentioned previously, ALMA (Atacama Large Millimeter Array) is a billion-dollar astronomy project taking place just a few miles from ACT. For the past several days now, we have been waiting for a shipment, carrying MBAC, to arrive here in San Pedro. In the meantime, we have been tidying up around the site, installing the weather monitor, etc.
