Journal 82 The vegetation at Meade River had entered the Autumn phase. Arctostaphylos alpina, and Betula, especially on the sand dunes were turning red and several species of Salix were beginning to color yellow. There were also some flowering plants, especially along the river and in areas of late snow melt. Of mammals I only saw one Dinostonyx (caught by Duke, the dog). I did not see any Caribou. 23 Aug. The plane was supposed to pick us up today, so we were more or less tied to camp. In the morning I walked along the river and along the stream near the village and later on Paul and I went to one of the four active ice cellars, into which we descended to have a look. The cellar was mainly used to store white fish. This morning alone one of the Eskimos caught some 20 of them, all ± 50-60 cm long. There seems to be little Grayling in the river, or perhaps the nets are not suitable for them, because among the 100 (±) fish in the cellar there was not a single one of them. After lunch Paul and I hiked along the river to the dunes N. of the village. In the Eriophorum along the river we caught one hemmous. When we got back home at 16:00 the plane came to pick us up. Paul and I and John Roup left camp at about 16:10. Farewell to Meade River, a wonderful camp!
