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.
