General Account
19 June
Ran lines again in the evening, and after supper read a-
while, wrote letters and notes.
20 June
Retired about 0200 and got up at 0900. Ran
the trap lines, then had breakfast. Prepared
specimen and worked on the weasel in the
afternoon. One of the bogie wheels has
slipped its rubber coating, and I tried to
straighten it back on, but it would not stay.
Will have to replace that wheel soon. Ran the
lines again in the evening. Spent part of the
evening with Vrien boys - getting gas for the
weasel and oil for heating my hut.
21 June
Retired at 0345 and got up at 0930. Ran the
traps, etc., skinned and wrote up notes in
the afternoon. Picked up traps from T2 and T8 in
the evening. Will put them out on T5 and T7.
tomorrow.
22 June
Retired at 0330 and got up at 1100. Spent
early afternoon skinning and writing up notes.
At 1700 went out to T6. Found the last 300
feet still covered by a snow bank, so changed
plans, and went up on the hill to T3 and set
out traps. Then established a new line (T1)
further in from T3 - in a ravale between
the forks of a small drainage system. The
ground cover is essentially the same as T3 except
that there are scattered alders 1½-2 feet high
occurring along most of the line.
