I'm way behind on my writing. I'll catch up later.
Right now we are camped on a tiny little knoll overlooking a very rugged drainage which will lead us back to the Okpilak Valley. We travelled from 1:30 p.m. yesterday until 12:30 a.m. today when we decided to bivouac because of darkness, rain and exhaustion. We are at about 4000 feet [elevation] and have 2 1/2 miles to the main valley. We are running short on fuel. We hope to be back in the valley in a few hours. We may have to wade the stream to get down it. It has cut a deep canyon into the granite and our only other route could be above the river on unstable boulders. I'll be real glad when this is over. More later.
