ELKadethan 1955- Journal Aug. 9 Brief trip to Teiga Base with Bob Mozell of California Radiation Safety Lab and his family. left Valley 10:45 D.M., arrived at Base 2 P.M. after lunch stop meadows. Bob brought my sensitive Geiger scintilometer which he tried with little success before the "receiver" was broken by jarring it. Returned to Valley 6:30 P.M. after nice outing for both our families - little data for me. Thermograph serviced. Dozens of radioactive tarsing (see species account of our detecting a "hot rock") uncovered. Aug. 30 left Valley 6:20 A.M. accompanied by Dick and David Henterweidt and Paul Elkins. We left Dick off near Enatic Dome at West side Tuslumme meadows, and continued to Meadows for breakfast. Arrived Teiga Base 8:40 A.M. Weather cool but clear and little air movement. Toads probably just emerged this time. Wind picked up by 9:30 A.M. Although day clear and warm, remained weather station yard. A. Togged toads T67-84, four with radioactive Co-60 pellets. Returned to Valley 5:20 P.M. I talked with Don Mullally, U.C.L.A. while at Base this mom. See species account.
