Code 1956. General Account 26 June helped level some C raticies on a plane for ARL, and took care of the wounded jeezer. Ran traps again in the evening and retired 2230. 27 June Up at 0700, fixed breakfast, and then went traps. In early afternoon carried out a fauge utilization sample along T4. Ran T7 again in the evening and skinned. 28 June Retired at 0030 and up at 0930. Ran T7 in the morning, and in afternoon went over to T2 and up along the ridge by the oil well looking for birds. Back to camp—cleaned up weasel and preased the tweets. Ran T7 again in the evening and skinned. Wrote up notes. 29 June Retired at 0100 and up at 0900. Took up the traps on T7 and prepared final specimens. Spent rest of day getting gear ready for the river trip. An Air Force C-47 brought Idal Webster in from Fairbanks around 2300. He will accompany Ben Geller and me on the river as representative of the Air Force Academy to get some gyrfalcon for marests. 30 June To bed around 0330 and up at 1200. Dusty came up to tell me that Andy Anderson would soon be here from Bettles with a Cessna 180 on floats to take us up river. (We had not expected him until very late in the evening.) Much washing around to get all the gear down to the slough where the float plane land.
