"Kept us from leaving until
9 A.M. Rain continued &
Mist was prevalent, after
climbing out of the pass,
we had a long descent thru
cleared open hill down
to the Shweli which we could
see winding thru the valley
for Belmar Village with
groups of shade trees almost
been could be seen dotting
the plain. To the north
on the Belmar Divide path
grasses could be seen on
some high spools much to
my surprise. This is
the 4 or foot peak of what I
called Davis' sharp & Bonero's
South. Our camp was well
arrived at 7:00 x 1:00 p.m. will
hold soon in this season.
Thus now named back
for 2 days which is quite
a good performance for this
time of year. Have no
doubt this is the beginning
of the rains at 11 A.M. we
crossed the chain suspension
bridge across the Shweli River."}
