12 July Barrow → Cape Simpson, Alaska
Kines, Steven, and I with Murphy (pilot)
to Simpson in 06Echo at 0830. 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.
The dog remained over at (SEE MAP ALSO) N
Fog was extremely thick at times -
We waited around the station for the
return trip.
Murphy arrived at 2345. We were
on board (06Echo) at 2355 - still poor visibility
but an open spot over the site -
