Okfilak Lake.
7 August Okfilak Lake - In and around camp on
all three drop, running trap lines and
shooting! Ed Sable and his assistant,
Ralph Bunnel, came in from their
strike camp on the evening of the 6th.
Bobby Fischer came in on the evening
of the 6th with Bill Kelly, a geologist
from U. of Michigan, who is out to check
over Ed's problems. On the 7th Thomson
and Sherman flew back to Barrow
with Bobby and Malcolm and Boron
left on a hiking trip across the divide
to the Jugs camp.
Weather was mostly overcast on the
7th - especially in late evening and
early morning but no rain yet.
Phenology: the last of the salmon berries
are now ripe. Cumbelberries are reaching
full ripeness. Willows are turning yellow,

beginning to show some color.
8 August Okfilak Lake - Spent the morning writing
up notes. At 1300 I went walking up river
to the creek with the high stand of willows
