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.
