The caravan came in late with Wm. At Black Water Creek I saw a pair of Ambush Phoeas in the edge of a field but failed to hurt either. They ran into the bushes when fired at. 18 We broke breakfast before day & + them packed our outfit. The morning was cloudy at camp with a light rain & a fine rainbow above the Snow White. We got away at 9 A.M. The climb out of Black Water Creek was very long, height the ridge here being about 12,000 feet. After crossing this summit we descended the magnificent forest of great hemlock & Spruce trees draped in long gray beard lichen. The undergrowth was cane or several bushes with some few o-shoot birches in openings a small cedar tree with both small dry forts may see. I shot one chipmunk near an open place. There was no bird life in the forest but Microlis running & leaping mammals, also hogs were very abundant. We camped 5 P.M. in a fine day.
