Beveal Account
11 July Spent most of the day working over the
weasel. Overhauled all the wheels and carriage.
Changed oil and fueled her up. Battery had
wound down, so I left the motor running
for several hours to charge it up. Ben
helped me change two bogies on the
left side. One was broke while I was
away.
12 July Spent the morning looking over an area
West of ARL hut to establish a new
transect and then set up the stakes and
markers for it. This line runs through
the area where I have trapped several
M. mivicus and where their nests are
very numerous. In the afternoon, some
USGS people came in on a midgeon to
establish a camp for a party of 10 which
will be moving in in the next few days.
They needed some help transporting their
gear from the field - ahs from the lagoon
where they have a Canav 180 or floats -
and since I am using their weasel, I
offered my help. In the late afternoon I
set out traps on T5. Between stakes
800 & 900 & between 900 & 1000, there were
5 in stead of 4 20 foot markers!
