Aug8 St. Barrow, Alaska;
Hines got in early this morning. Went right to bed. Her
and the pilot had to land at Pow A last night due to
the fog. I started the colony early that morning. Sullivan
checked lines I,II, IX & X by himself. Hines wanted to
be awakened when we went to set lines III a,b & IV a,b,
but we didn't. He had been up all night so we set
them ourselves. Finished the colony that afternoon and
helped Sullivan check lines I,II, IX &X. Overcast day
but only slightly cool.
Aug9. St. Barrow, Alaska;
Started the Colony and then got some help from John
Hines. This was an exchange basis. He helped me in the
morning and then I would help him and Sullivan that
afternoon moving the trap stakes on VII & VIII. Moving the
stakes about 30ft. to the south put the stakes in
much better terrain. That evening we pulled in lines
I,II, IX &X. There was some brief showers later this
evening.
Aug10, St. Barrow, Alaska;
Got some help from Sullivan in helping me with
the colony this morning. Late Beeper, Sullivan, Hines & S.
went out to Central Marsh, John Hines & I to set line I,II,
VII & VIII, and Sullivan & Pieper to build enclosures at the
fertilizer plot. Finished colony that evening.
