Day 7: July 11th
The day starts out misty with wind which only increases as the sky clears. Using our GPS and compass we set off to hike to where Dirk will pick us up five days from now, a flat sandy area not too far from the shore with good sand for the small plane to land.
Back at camp, everyone pitches in to help reposition my tent which is being broadsided by the wind and is close to becoming a kite. The wind is strong and cold which equals no mosquitoes. The caribou know what they are doing to head north to the coast.
I see a large seagull go after a small ground squirrel. The squirrel gets to its hole before it becomes a snack. The gull smacks his beak but only gets air. All over the ground you see caribou tracks. We missed them by two weeks according to Steffen
