  sensors are becoming closer to practical reality.  Interpreting
  data from such structures, however,

  fixed to the exterior of a building may record high 
  temperatures as a result of radiant heat from a solar
  source, or from a wildfire.  Interpreting such data

  surrounding the structure, which may also be monitored
  by networked sensors.  Convenience dictates that 
  any such surrounding network be wireless and self-organizing.

- Our main interest is in testing our hypothesis using available 
- designs for organizing, sharing and routing in sensor 
- networks in a wildland environment.  We present the results of 
- on-location behavior of the network, including a number
- of link statistics and propose changes to the existing design for
- added robustness.
