Noatak camp was pleasant - in
jungle of 15 to 20 ft. willows along
large river gravel bar for landing

camp, and brief glimpse of a warblerish

Flew through rainstorms in
Brooks Range, but broke into clear
by Cape Thompson and landed in
time for supper. Camp consists of
cook-station leader Fidel Pamplona,
mechanic Jim Christman, handyman
Rondo Brower, and a buggy
U.S. of Hawaii insect collector, Ed Brown.
Really a strange bunch - nobody talks,

this vegetation. My guess is pre-high.
Tom flushed a Microtus oecanomus,
but we failed to catch it. Looks
promising.
Next walked over Crowbill with
Ron Brower, with Tom and Ed
