July 29. Rain all night & still raining in morning, so slept a bit later than usual. Clouds finally became distinct, inquilable & rain occasional, so out about 10:30 or so road to airport & over 2 ridges to east, to make transects of muskeg, swamps, lake shore, birch, & spruce forest and willows & cedar scrub. Got very wet from fighting wet brush - willows not only terrible for being willows but all half dead wood - must have been a very dry season. Rain resumed & became sleat so started home & back at 4:00, so wet & cold that I took a hot bath to thaw. No sign of RHTD from Barrow. Didn't get our shipping dble.
