Lake 1959 Journal For the plane. The 24th was a miserable day. Rain + snow all day. Poor flying weather. To say the least. The Union Oil people down at the far end of [illegible] Schrade Lake left [illegible] on that day. Jule Thurberdian + a sheep hunter from Florida showed up—without camping gear—spent 2 days with me. Jule flew to Bartlett on Monday + picked up their gear while arrived that day from Fairbanks. The 2 left for sheep hunting on the Hula Nula the next day. I cooked on the 25, which was a fairly nice day—cleared gradually. Day evening was perfectly clear. Rumours of a plane coming in kept us interested most of the day. It didn't. Location of bones of Mammoth: picked up by Dick Lyons of Union Oil: Canning River at Lat. 69°40'± on just terrace above river, right on edge of bank, W. bank. He thought it deposited there by high water Aug 26 Peter Lake, Alaska Plane arrived late in the day of fork Lwr. Chase Charles Lewis + an Eskimo → Bartlett School. Lewis + the Eskimos arrived on the plane that day.
