Macba 1964 Journal 26 July King Salmon, Alaska Peninsula, Alaska Amazing! Waited around for Max in the morning, but when he came he didn't seem to feel like conversing, so he kin buddy helped load the plane, and at 11:00 A.M. found himself on the trip ticket. Flew to Fairbanks to) Uniat to let our Anderson party for trip down Colville collecting mice, then onto Fairbanks to let out our two P visitors. Went out to college to get a car, then into Fairbanks for lodge run, back to airport, and off for King Salmon. Flew past Mt. McKinley, and got a few brief glimpses through the clouds. Quite a chunk of land. From the air, Southern Alaska looks very much like Northern Alaska except for the trees. Still much water, little relief, and large marshy areas. The trees are largely limited to river valleys, etc.. Look like black spruce- [Picea mariana]. Landed in King Salmon about 8:30 P.M., and were met by Chuck Luna - local fish and game man. One of the bears has cleaved its way out of the box he was in, so we went down to riverbank
