General Account
7 June-Cort
specimens obtained from Wainwright on
6 June.
Brock and Maher were not able to
leave for the Meade today because of mechanical trouble with plane. They will go as
soon as the bolts are fixed.
8 June
Brock and Maher left for the Meade at 1300.
In the morning Henry and I talked with Max
and a USGS man named Sable who
was familiar with Beaufort. We later tentatively
decided to try to get Childs down on Agist
Island near mouth of mouth of Nitrogea and
south of Beaufort.
We spent the rest of the morning processing
some of the Wainwright specimens.
Rovanda and I went out in a coracle along part
of the beach ridge and outskirts central marsh just
north of the Barrow site between 1300 and 1500
At 1535 left Barrow with Rovanda and Brewes
via Wien, Lockheart flying, to Half-Moon-Thre,
to vicinity of Cape HalKett and return along the
cost to Barrow. In general between Barrow
and Half-Moon-Thre ground about 20% exposed
from snow cover. Lots of water every where,
just east of Admiralty Bay, high cutter polygons
with prominent terraces become quite common.
Flying between 200-400 ft
Good visibility
