1965 Bill Army Journal July 5 at the landing I saw crows, all about the same size, but 2 different calls were heard, a higher pitched caw, and a low guttural one. I watched one crow, probably Corvus b. corvinus poking among the weeds and rocks of the shore, probably foraging. Large numbers of crows were not seen to be on the beach however, and must have been seen in the forests along the coast, usually up in the trees. The increased prevalence of crows has been evident here in the Northwest region however. The ferry from Swartz Bay ($9.40) was uneventful. We loaded and got straight on the road for Hope, Chilliwack etc. We passed right through Chilliwack, then Hope and started on to Kamloops but decided to camp at American River, 1.5 mile W of Spuzzum. The water here was swift and clear and emptied into the Fraser River below. Little bird life noted, though Swainson's thrush was heard often. Here we discovered with the B&Q oil company's help, a bearing failure in the RHD, Rear wheel, decided to return to Chilliwack for repairs. July 6 Up early and drove slowly back to Chilliwack. Got rear wheel repaired but this depleted money supply so we wired back to Berkeley for more. The money hadn't arrived by 5 PM so we drove up the Chilliwack River about 5 miles from town to camp.
