(August) at noon, and we were back in Barrow by
1:00. After cleaning up, Pete and I went
our for 300-samples across Wohlslag
Slough. No trouble locating all 16 sites,
then, as we left the farthest site of the
300 sample series (Elean Bluffs) the track
broke. Walked in carrying one set of
samples, with the ford of Wohlslag
Slough. Made it at 1830 - and had to
clean up all over again. It was cold,
windy, and foggy as we walked in.
In the evening came in to place the
samples in the funnels and sort some of
the slo ones.
August Barrow, Alaska
Foggy and windy again. Transects
today. Started at 11:00 while Pete
took the replacement vessel out to the
broken one to retrieve our belongings,
then he left me at 11:30 to go put the
other 300 samples into the funnels. In
the afternoon he sorted and put up birds
while I finished the transects. It is
definitely getting wetter again, even without
rainfall.
In the evening Drove up to sledship
station to deliver the fish and caribou
that we had brought back from
