AM Verbeek 1966. Journal 80 length. There were few birds around, except for some Pintails, we saw Red-bucks (+5), Peletrials (1) and Red. Phalarope (10). I also noted two Parasitic Jaegers. Before going home we drove SE along the Gas Well Road to the point where the tracks go thru the tundra proper. Near this point, in a drained lake, I found about a dozen flowering plants of Senecio congestus. In the evening, we counted more Chironomids. 21 Aug. Sunday. Again a day of fog and no sun. Janette Gerheart came in on the Wien plane and we spent the rest of the day showing her the tundra. 22 Aug. Took care of some correspondence in the morning and then at 10:00 I got the news that at 10:10 I was to leave for Meade River for an over-night trip. The plane took off at 11:05 and we landed at Meade River at 11:40. All the way we flew above the clouds and Gary Sheppard missed the camp by many miles to the SE.
