2mi. W Smith Creek Corr, 6300ft., Mt Thorish, White Pine Co., Nevada Lee Arnold 1937 Itinerary June 12 that I caught the tail of the night before. I am saving the Peregrinus and Ueotama until I return to camp to make them up. Today Fitch and Johnson are going to pack into the mountains. We are driving the truck to the head of Henry Canyon (as far as possible) end then loading the supplies on a horse. I am then to bring the truck back to camp and continue to trap this area. June 13 Yesterday when we were driving to the head of Henry Canyon for Fitch and Johnson to pack back into the hills we met with misfortune in that the right rear axle of the Dodge broke. Apparently thorough roads and ruts had put the finishing touches on crystalizing the dd axle and this climb was the death blow to it. We were indeed fortunate in that our guide was a graduate from the Chicago School of Automobile Mechanics. He diagnosed our trouble end told us that he could fix it next Wednesday. In the meantime he caught and cooked 8 trout for our lunch. After getting Johnson and Fitch packed Mr. Parker and myself started walking back to the ranch about 8 miles away. En route I saw a Hairy Woodpecker.
