Maclean 1964 Journal 4 August Cape Thompson, Alaska Got the word this morning that Today was the day for Thompson flight, so hurry up and wait! Spent morning packing gear, then went out and closed owl traps on beach ridge. First call: 1:30, then 2:30, then 3:00. Finally made it at 4:00, and darn near got left behind at that. Flew along the coast all the way in beautiful, clear water. Good view of camp, but flew directly over the village. Took a roll of film, then discovered that camera was acting up again. Screwed it up thoroughly trying to see exactly what's wrong. Circled over bird cliffs and landed at 6:30. The place is really something! Will save description for tomorrow. Ate dinner, then unloaded gear. Fog came in just as plane left, but went out soon after. We took over UGS jameway hut and set up mouse equipment, then walked down beach a bit. Saw Semi-palmated Sandpiper, flights of Murres, kittiwakes. Came back, B.S.'d with "permanent" summer residents, then tried to sleep while estimates got juices on bear we'd brought in.
