Hoeman, J. V. 1964--Aleutians 23 nest the McRoys found the 13th. We take jeep on the road toward Frosty Pk. and flush the bird from its tundra nest, a rock sandpiper looks and acts something like dumlin 3 big eggs in top of niggerhead. On to Frosty Creek Bridge where a pair of ouzels act as if they may have nest. Returning see 30 ravens at dump and 50 rook s.p. on beach. Pete definitely wants to climb Frosty with me, this summer--late Aug. if I'M passing through then, and I think I might be. We have to rush off to airport and fly to Anchorage non-stop with clouds obscuring everything till we get up over Cook Inlet. Get good look down at Augustine's smoking volcano as we pass immediately east of it, Tuxedni and Kolgin Islands then offer Pt. Possession. Win decided to go direct to Seattle on a flight he could board right away and visit his sister over weekend, but I had to go to Anchorage to get my clean clothes so we split up at airport. In Anchorage I rent $2 bunk YMCA, but don't like it or the attitude of the "don't leave anything on it you don't want stole" colored boy. So after trying in vain to get my laundry I found Gary Hansen home at Knife Armes 6th (top ) floor. He's working for himself now with a drawing table set up by big corner window his only furniture. His sleeping bag spread on floor--he invites me to bring mine. I accept and also dinner invitation with a girl coming to prepare same. Her name is Elaine Oetting, ex-Stewardess holding 2 other full-time jobs presently, 24 on 7 June, 3 yrs. Alaska. We go out to find her a place to live with a girl named Alice similarly artificial type or perhaps dissimilarly. Then buy food for meal (Gary won't let me pay) which she does most of the work preparing. pick up my pack at YMCA (no refund). Gary had answered add on his car
