August 4, 1906, Saturday Fair and warm. After breakfast of trout, etc., Joe, Fernald, and I started about 9.00 A. M. for the meadows in the revine below camp. Found several nice things. Carex rariflora, Rubus Chamaemorus (fruit) amongst them. I tried to make a map of the ponds (large and small) up as far as the first large one above camp. Mapped 45 - numbered them in a sketch I made. Got Paleitrichum eighteen inches long. Came back in middle of P. M. and found Cote', Perry, and Roy in camp. Roy much better. Took care of plants collected. August 5, 1906, Sunday Rainy last night and cloudy this forenoon. Worked all A. M. taking care of specimens. Had dinner about noon and soon afterwards Fernald, Joe, and I started out. We went down ravine to the triangular pond, across brook to north of rectangular pond, and up on ridge overlooking the lower valley of the same ravine. The western edge of this proved to be more or less slate and limestone and we got lots of plants. Followed the ridge up to the summit. I took some pictures and sketches. I spent about an hour on the summit (between four and five o'clock) and then came back via the same ridge to brook overlooking the lower ravine and then back on the south side of the brook. In the evening roughly sorted plants by campfire. Johh and Wilfred gone to Forks.
