Cade 1956 General Account 12 june of the latter have been broken or bent over, perhaps by movement of snow, as the line is on a rounded ridge that probably gets a lot of wind. It is completely free of snow and is the clearest of the 7 transects. I marked some of the 100 ft stakes with red rope and took a photo from the middle looking toward the beginning point. While we turning, just before got to the air strip, something happened to the broke on the left track of the vessel, and I had to drive it in the west of the way with no control over the left side. Will try to fix it in the morning. Got back to hut at 1900, ate dinner, prepared specimens and wrote up notes in the evening. Caught two lemmings by hand in the area near T-5. 13 june Retired at 0100 and got up at 0900. Fixed breakfast and then went out on a trip to Unist Mt. Could not get vessel across Beeswax Cr, no passed at foot of hill and walked the rest of the way. Returning to camp about 1830, I crossed a patch of snow I had used earlier to by-pass a ditch in the road, and the vessel fell through into a small drainage. It got wedged in between snow banks forward and back and would not budge. It was about a mile out of camp, so I shifted in for help. Had to walk bare-footed and pant less across Sea Bee Cr. Cold experience. Ate dinner with
