Maka 1959 Journal may 12 were met by Brina Kessel and her husband. They transported us to College. We had a room at Harvest House Hall on campus. Parked our stuff there went to the Roofs. They had a few people over. Bell Pruitt, Fred Dean, Al Johnston (Botany) & the Swarthes (?) - other (Paranthropus). The latter were the married couple in charge of New Hall. May 13 Fairbanks Had breakfast with the Swarthes. They obtained a car from the Comptroller's office of the University. The name of Brewer & ARL seemed to turn the trick. Drove out the Steese Highway 40 miles & found a Shrubs nest cade had seen in 1956. The forest was extremely quiet. I found one Red Squirrel - area 10 feet square of underground burrowos- large mounds of spruce cone scales, - pile of freshly cut - still unopened spruce cones on the top of this. - A grass nest in tree - maybe a summer nest - didn't investigate. One squirrel seen in tree here. Black Bear - on slope across valley. Watched him for half an hour. He rambled about apparently looking for food -
