26 may Wainwright, Alaska
came over at about 100 feet calling
but we were not able to knock
away down. We left for Wainwright
at 0440, stopping once to shunt
one flock of King riders that
had now started to move. During
the night it had frozen making
it easier for our 7 dogs to pull us
but less comfortable travel. Near
the camps the ice in pressure
ridges required carrying the
sled but most of the trip was
fairly smooth going. It is amazing
what punishment these sleds can
take. Our driver was Byron James
an enlistment and Willing Scharf.
Ranch paid for the trip at $20
per day. We arrived back at 8 a.m.
propheld!
28 may Walked out to the Tropilins on the mark
which are still under snow. There
is lots of polygon tops exposed now. I
found one dead Emy. Semipalmated
Sandpiper seen in the village. Collected
one more junco and shot at a
White-crowned Sparrow. Departed for
Barnes via Wainwright at 2 p.m.
