May-Bobby departed for Kotzebue after a cup of coffee. Tommy + I set out 2 squirrel traps & checked my line traps. Closed traps at 9 PM.

Spent day trapping squirrels. Morning was windy & cloudy. Wind died down in afternoon when of course the meegubees came out. Tried to scare squirrels but they were inactive.
