General Account
13 June
the Wien even. Good bench of quay despite armor.
Afterward Ben and I took the 6x6 truck out to
the weasel to pull it out. We had a lot of trouble.
The weasel had leaked and was full of water up to
the floor board. The foam was splashing water
all over the place. We bailed out enough water to
clear the jam and clevis shaft. The truck could
not pull the weasel forward. Finally we jested it
sidewise, and after several tries, shoveling, etc.
we got it out. It looked like a drowned rat. I
drained out the water and brought it in without
further mishap.
14 June
Retired at 0130 and got up at 0930. Spent the
morning and early afternoon writing up notes and
cleaning out the weasel from yesterday's melee. Got
gear ready for trapping, Found the battery was not
charged enough to start weasel. Had to get one Wien
man to tow me to get motor started. Let it run
no generator could charge battery the rest of the
afternoon. At 1900 went out and set traps on
Tlo and TH. Back at 2300, Fixed late dinner.
15 June
Retired at 0100 and got up at 0900. Ran the
trap lines, came back and fixed breakfast, and
spent the afternoon skinning specimens. 1630 went
out west of camp and set 12 traps by snow leaf
mists at the base of willows. The area (cheat shrub)
is middled with well-used semi-ways. It looks like
it might be good for a transect.
