Hickerson, C.D. 1965 Journal Jan. 15 Honolulu 6 This morning Max and I headed for Pearl City bright and early. We spent the entire morning and part of the afternoon rooting around in the warehouse packing for the ATF and attempting to sort out other gear. We pulled out 8 sleeping bags that were getting mildewed, a max-min thermometer, a sling psychrometer, 8 headlights and a very expensive altimeter, and took them out to the Ely's where they can be stored safely. Such gear shouldn't be left at Pearl City where it can't be stored either properly or safely. By 2 p.m. we had done as much damage as we could do for one day - having gone through all of the Marshall's gear and then packed 5 trunks for the ATF trips. We are now in a position to complete the packing in a day or so and then start hauling gear onto the ship. As soon as Merrill gets here and we can rent a pickup truck we'll start hauling gear into the portable flat which is now on the ship. The weather here is still uninspiring. It has rained everyday since our arrival. Since very little can be done on weekends we now have two days in which to rest up and plan our activities for next week. The fact that Dr. Ely won't return until Wednesday afternoon distresses me a little. Here
