early afternoon. Light rain fell in early
afternoon & evening.
I remained about tent all day.
Bartlett set out traps for Dr. Frazer,
along ridge line. Set out my own 6
along bottom of slope near tent. Fixed
a wire basket for hanging my pellet
bags over the snow to dry them. Then
worked on my camera records - made
a new triad using a micro switch
which came in on one of the traps
sent in on the last plane. It seems to
work much better. Found that the
synchronization didn't work. Took the
camera completely apart. Nothing wrong
with the circuit, & it finally began working.
The contacts may have been wet or
something. Hope this doesn't happen
when I get set up. Checked traps at
6 + again at 10/19. None on
ridge. One behind tent. The clipped
him & released him.
July 18 Batmegua River, Alaska.
I was awakened at 4:00 AM by gusts
of wind striking the back of the tent. After
a bit they became so strong that I
got up & loosened the fly so that thing
in front. This was to keep it from.
