from British Petroleum, too moved in via
Inferior Airways. Talked with their
leader - Norm Johnson, and learned
much about geology, and fossils of the
area. Rock of the area is upper

from a reef environment, and contains
many fossil corals and calcinaceans.
He identifies several fossils we has picked
up.
Didn't want to stray far, so spent

Noozed two squirrels after dinner,
then took a break at cribbage. Went
out bear hunting in the woods with
Riel and Marv about 11:00. Drove up
by beach and sat by walrus carcass -

and found one right by camp.
