I walked back to one cache at the old camp - covering the distance in 20 minutes that took 3 hours by boat. Tried to shoot the D Ron fish with .22 but no luck. Took the largest yag and a M. seconoma for next, plan to raise the former. Saw a Hoebell's Gribble on the lake and a Wolverine hunting around its edge. 17 July Patnega River, 7 mi SE Cape Sabine, Alaska after scouting around this morning the plane arrived. I had seen a Robin, Pacific Loon, and shot an unknown sandpiper 2984. It took 4 trips to get all our stuff down and one to the base camp for oats, ammunition, etc. Lite Savoie returned and glad that we have limes. 18 July Walked to the ponds downstream.
