June 28. Up at 6:00, to find a dark raining morning. Breakfast at 7:00, then repacked & got ready for an 8:00 pickup by airport taxi. Took first lot of gear to lobby & was told that flight was delayed by weather conditions at Barrow. Called wives at 9:15 - 10:15 & finally learned their departure was scheduled for 11:30, so we went to airport. Finally off at 11:45, in Fairchild, with heavy cloud cover. Got faint glimpse of Yukon and of tundra N. of Brooks Range, but no visibility for photography. Stopped at Unniat - apparently a regular stop
