Sat
June 7 It was a warm morning but heavy clouds began to gather before we left camp. I caught 3 ant mimics, but no mammals at all.
We had a very stiff uphill
longgrate as soon as we left camp,
& didn't pass the last one till 11a.m.
a strong wind blew up about 9a.m.
& gusty rain came just at noon,
after leaving the hills in rains on
a large plain surrounded with
rolling ridges by grass covered ridges.
Then was a dozen or more yards
to a little wooden temple. It was
evidently a permanent winter
grazing ground. Many sheep &
guidcats were scattered over the
plain & much mammal sign (red)
but no mammals.
After supper we struck a long
khitche 1/2 and walked out across
the plain with the wind.
It was difficult going in the strong wind
& rain usually made it worse to
disagreement that we camped at
11.30, on its plain we saw a
hunkal ant mimics & 5 or 6 gray cranes,
I also list
two giraffe gazelle and saw many
sparrows.
