Earlier I shot 3 ring cameras lives from a flock of geese. The day was clear + warm after 10 A.M. The rock formation thus the canyon of the Teh-River was granite but on the Yang-pi it changed to gray hard limestone with red sandstone in places. At 2 P.M. we passed thru the town of Yang-pi & across the river of the same name. Camp was pitched on the riverside at the edge of the town. The city was like a town like consisting of one long crowded rocky street. From our camp a fine view of the Teh range was presented. This state's steep with a sprinkling of snow on the summit but around forest, about backs a pretty little pink flower primrose is now the only flower.
