Field Notes Dory Bell June 23, 1989 We just packed everything up, cleaned up and moved to the beach to await our 13:00 hrs pick-up by Mike & Al in their Dune. Weather was hot & sunny. Ladd found a milk gall, which I caught & collected from Strawberry (DAB 519). Beautiful ride in to Neah Bay. Sad to leave Tutosh. I had to follow Bob Paine's group in to Seattle because my big N2 tank was getting too low. Refilled it, Bob helped me with it. The drive from Neah Bay to Seattle (via Kingston Ferry) took 15:30-20:10. I drove back to Port Angeles, spent the night. June 24, 1989 Met Jim Mott at Eagle Air Helicopters in Forks, WA at 11:20. Loaded up in his copter, and we flew out to Destruction Island. Short flight. Beautiful clear, HOT, dry. Smooth. We circled Destruction around from the SW, past the light, landed next to the pad. Off-loaded my stuff, and away he went. Expect to be picked up on Thursday morning at 09:00. Today is Saturday. Got my camp set up on the "lawn" near the Water Tower. Saw Bald Eagle as we landed.

The area around the lighthouse & Foghorn (SW end), as well as the Helicopter landing pad & water tower consists of carpet-like grass & moss, kept close cropped by the innumerable small grey loblolly
