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.
