Strong, 1921. Hazeltin, B.C. 53, Alders, Poplar, Vine Maple, etc. There are several creeks but aside from a Squirreler and a Red Squirrel draw no particular life. Just around the lake are lodge-pole pines with twills undergrowth, and the lake is shallow and sedgey with points spring out covered with reeds, there are usually qualling-bogs and I went into one over my waist. Saw one small dark duck and a flock of Golden Ego which I could not kill. There was a Heron on the lake and a Northern (?) frog, which gave his weird, howling, chuckling "laugh". Saw a Muskrat or some similar animal swimming, as well as what appeared to be muskrats in the reeds. Had the look of a long, hard walls home.
