We passed by the valley which leads
over the mt. to the Wigo Trail
and crossing the river camped
on the south side at the entrance
to a beautiful valley the sides of which
were covered with a heavy spruce
forest.
In the afternoon everyone went
to sleep for these early hours and
strenghtens mounting hunters
tire one quickly. As soon as the
monkeys rubbed they set about
preparing food - and I must
admit that we did too. We are
just like animals - hunt at the
early morning or evening, sleep
in the middle of the day and eat as
soon as we awake.
I had a beautiful but unsuccess-
fuful hunt with there. With the
red man. He took me to the summit
of a mountain where we could
look down into a splendid
valley on another side. There he
pointed out the place where he had
shot a bear three weeks before and
we saw a good deal of fresh bear
sign on the hillside which he said
two or more made by the claws of the
one he had killed.
