General Account
24 June Unint- intermittently cloudy all
day. Ran T2, 10, 28 in the
morning. Skimmed in the early afternoon.
Bobby Fischer, Paul Tietjen and
Otto Beist came in from Barrow around
1530. At 1645 the four of us went up
on a recon flight to check thereview
for winter conditions and possible
landing areas for the planes. We followed
the Colville up to the Killik, then
up the Killik to the lake area about
midway up the Killik valley. There
we were hit by heavy winds that prevented
us from going on up to Eastw Creek, so
we got westward to the Kewapa
Lakes, circled there and turned
back on same route. Heavy weather
prevented us from going on with the
Migu drainage to check possible
landings for a float plane in that
area. Between Kewapa Lakes and
the Killik, we passed over the spot
where I began the Oolumwoguith
trip in '64. Fischer circled around
the gypsalem cliff tops but no
birds could be seen there. Noptunugun
were seen on the entire trip.
Ran traps in the evening.
