Abstract
Touched down on the Kluane strip with the Helio Courier 4153D June 24, 1961. First landed 53D on the Kaskawulsh glacier at what we later called Glacier Camp (ca. 8500 ft) with Dr. Wood and Ralph Lenton to eat snow. Four more landings with tents and all comfort items including food June 30. Two more trips with essentials to start research July 1. Got caught at the camp because of whiteout. A snowstorm followed the whiteout and the time was spent setting up a comfortable camp. Finally, on July 8, I was able to stagger 53D in the air and return to Kluane base camp. IRRP was in business.
