24 July two observations must be related.
In the evening I had Dave assist
Dr. Schulz sort grass from clip quadrats
while Edna and I made the evening
check of the traplines in a snowstorm!
Returned the catch to the lab, drove up to
shooting station and broke a track on the
weasel. I don't feel too badly - I went
to the mechanic's shop today and told
them it was going to break.
25 July
Barrow, Alaska
Dave and I got a truck to go
our to pick up lines IVa-b and IIIa-b.
Got our repaired (?) weasel back after
lunch and went out to check emergency
traps, change tanglefoots, and set our
traplines V, III, VII, & VIII. The persistent
snowstorm and cold winds convinced
us to forgo about the latter. What
a cold, miserable July this has been!
In the evening began counting
tanglefoots, then out to Bikenik and
into Barrow.
26 July
Barrow, Alaska
Started our early to set our
traplines. Half way out our weasel
suddenly died. Walked out to set VII
and VIII, then in to camp. After lunch
