bungalow tents aren't the best for
the late season here.
Sept 5 Barrow, Alaska
Plane arrived at 9:45 or so. We
were just having breakfast. Day cold
with snow flurries. Packed + left caching
all gear except our own stuff + specimens.
Back at Barrow by lunch time. In
afternoon talked to Brewer, got started
on seal heads, tied them in bags,
numbered them, etc.
In evening went to the O'Sullivans
for drinks + music.
Sept 6 Barrow, Alaska
Sunday. 2 inches of snow on
ground in morning. Have mostly
passed day chatting with Art Lockenbruck
after. Did finish "bagging" Eignathus
heads, pickled gonado of some specimen,
and brought these notes up to date.
The richbey got in to Barrow the
afternoon with Don Stevens, now 2
weeks late for wedding.
