Another cool, gray day. Scattered clouds on the way to Simpson - increased as we moved east. The site was socked in - clouds about 150-200 ft high. (There is a 200ft tower at this site - which we couldn't see). We came through the clouds at 150ft above the tundra. We were a good mile or more from the site. The 3 of us walked around the trap lines once - the lines are not particularly difficult to find. There is a lake SW of the station. Follow this lake to its southern end - Lines I + II are visible to the East. Line III + IV can be seen from the end of line II.
