Mable, 1959 Journal that I would not be going on the Unniat trip Valley. I gathered together some gear, got a weasel & went off to survey the tundra around Barrow. Went to go well on road - then on to Shrewill Lake - went down to its south end - came the exposed polygons near its outlet and on up the ridge along it. East side, back on dry lake went to its west & up this through polygon area to Denali ridge. The new gas line to the village cuts right through this area passing by the peak of the ridge near the marker. Came straight on to the base from here. After lunch went couth to Dokpile Slough North mouth - cruised along it - around the gas well & back big road. Tundra still 97 - 98% covered. Though there was enough polygon rose & ridge exposed to get a good look at the vegetation. There is no sign of lemmus anywhere. In all the area the only sign I saw was one winter root at Voths area - that one had been mucked by a weasel & contained lemmus remains. This seems to have been the only lemming in the Barrow area. Chester brought me
