August 6, 1906, Monday Threatening and showery all day. Several heavy showers in the P. M. Worked all day taking care of plants collected. In the P. M. stayed in camp on account of the rain. Collected plants to burn for ash analysis and for soil samples about the alpine meadowin which camp is located. Trout, wheat, maple syrup and apple sauce for breakfast, and about the same for dinner. August 7, 1906, Tuesday Clear in the A. M. Cloudy in the P. M. Rainy in the evening. Had breakfast of trout, etc., and about 8.30 Cote', Joe, Fernald, and I started down to Triangular Pond and across to Granite Block Pond, up to Second Peak where I took a panorama. Cote' and I then went across to Third Peak while Joe and Fernald worked around Pond #101 (Southeast of Third Peak). Took panorama from Third Peak. Lunched near Pond# 101 with Joe and Fernald. On the way from Second to Third Peak I went along edge of barrens above Pond # 201 and found Dryas Integrifolia and several other interesting things. After lunch we all went back to this place and worked the barrens above Pond #201 and also to some extent the upper slope of the next ravine north of #201. Found a good many interesting plants. Came home via Second Peak and across by Granite Block Pond and Triangular Pond. Got back to camp about 7.00 and found Roy and Perry back from the Forks.
