for a 2 hour reconnaissance looking for
Caribou to check on the migration
route of the herd that went through
here last year. Cased report Lrg. A.
headed south past Dgloo Mt. &
Kulepoh River followed it upstream
one divide & down the Kulepah River.
Near the coast we swung out along
the cliffs at Cape Thompson. The raddices
were in operation this time & thousands
of Mares + Puffins + Kittiwakes flew out
as we passed. Saw a pair of Balden
Eagle flying along the cliff. Followed
up the N. fork of the Kulepah, cut over to
cost at the Corwin Mine & followed
cost back to the Pitungen. Most
of the few Caribou seen were in upper
Kulepah + along coast W. of Pitungen,
however H. Childs got some good dope
by plotting the caribou trails visible from
the air.
Raining lightly when we returned
here. Dick Cmade departed with the
pilot. Hank & I set up a 8X10 wall
[illegible] brought & moved in. This is
the same tent I used at Karluk River
in 1957. Set out trophic after supper.
