Made 1959 Journal 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.
