Macewan 1966 26 July Meadow River to Barrow, Alaska the ARL plane with Cliff Alperfer arrived soon after our late breakfast, while I was packing up. Didn't really want to leave the place - it is truly pleasant. Took some meat for Jimmy Ledwitt's family, Ray Spalook, and the Algeeks. Beautiful, clear flying weather. Saw another herd of 150-200 caribou on the North side of the Inaru. No owls - no Pomerines. Saw flocking shorebirds - could not identify from the air. Ran into fog just S. of Barrow Village, and camp was cold + foggy. Spent the afternoon counting tanglefeet that Paul changed - catch is way down. Tipulias have really dropped our entirely. Cleaned and re-glued the slats, then went out to change them. Did not see much bird activity - flock of golden plovers on the North edge of Central Marsh- but it was too late to spend much time. Came in for a badly needed shower and meal, then went into town for the evening.
