General Account
13 July - cont-
out with the weasel and jeep to set
out traps on T2 & T10. We took both
vehicles because I wanted to see how
far out I could take the jeep without
getting stuck. Fortunately, it is possible
to get it all the way down the wood
to Old Unpeat, which puts us within
easy walking of the trap lines. Hal
then took us on over the rough stuff
in the weasel. Wileox and Radke came
along, and while they went walking
along the ridge, we set out the traps.
The vegetation along T2 is considerably
higher than in '64 or '67 - especially in
the place center ridge-groves marshed
where this growth is almost
twice as high (ca 18-20" wide) as
previous. In the part the vegetation
has not grown above the top of the
stakes, but this year all the stakes
are hidden below the crown of the
groves and ridges. Also, despite the fact
that this has been a wet summer, this
line is drier in the feed chutes than
in '64 or '67. Some stakes are standing in
water about 2" deep, but most of the sites
are really flooded as in the past.
