August 2, 1906, Thursday About 2.15 P. M. followed up brook to the next small triangular shaped pond, thence up its inlet, coming from several other ponds farther east. We soon turned up the slope to the southward and returned over top of peak and down a very rough ravine ( rough both from pucker- brush and loose rocks ) to an open area at head off Americain lake (east end). Fernald and I fished for an hour and brought in 75 trout( I caught 33 of them). Too dark for any work after supper of trout, potatoes, marmalade, etc. August 3, 1906, Friday Hazy. No wind. Took care of some plants before breakfast. After breakfast broke camp and at about 11.00 A. M. started up- trail to summit with Cote' and Joe; Roy and Perry started up an hour ahead with loads. Met them coming down near the first open ridge. Roy was ill. I got up ahead of Cote', Joe, and Fernald and walked along to the head of Americain Lake to the north and back before they got up. We then went up the Peak to the north and down to the head of cravine running down to the rectangular pond which we visited yesterday and found cold water and a good openplace in which to put the two tents. Altitude 3400 feet. Cote' soon went back to Americain Lake Camp ad he was somewhat worried about Roy's illness. had partridge, potatoes, marmalade, and biscuit for supper. A small brook of very cold water 20 feet from tents.
