Mackan 1964 Journal looked around here a while. Planned to go out after dinner, but lab schedule slide slow by Hultfve, so stayed in for that. During slow rain turned to snow, and by 5:00 there was ca. 1 inch on the ground. Took a few pictures around the lab, then went out to live plots with Stevens and Holland. Really beautiful grass sticking out over the snow - untracked, clean...... even were the barrels look almost quaint. Found a brood of red-backs no more than 3 days out of egg running across snow near AAEs. Hope those pictures turn out! Storm too passed by 10:00. Came in and wrote notes to music again. 2 August Barrow, Alaska Didn't do a damn thing today! Weather was cold and misty, with occasional periods of frozen mist. "There won't be any activity today" rationalized I, and since we didn't have a weasel - stayed in and wrote several letters, worked on skeletal material, waved good bye to hogsoon bound for the train,
