1) The night was cold & clear at the Li-tren with a full moon. Owing to the heavy frost our traps caught only 2 micents & several Springs. Our camp was situated in the middle of the valley in a meadow with corn fields & thorn hedges nearby. We reached the summit of the pass at 11 A.Ms & found it covered with a 6 inch layer frozen. A high meadow filled with snow occupies the pass as we had a three mile tramp across it. The brightness produced an intense reflection which could soon produce snow-blindness on the ascent down many young trees the foliage rather reddish at the look thin of them. There were just 2 brass ferns of the genus. The white felled general was also silent 2 shots. The pass is marked 12,000 feet but it does not seem near as high as the Phe-ti-one which had a wild fir forest quite covering the same. Three at the summit were spruce birch & oak.
