August 12, 1906, Sunday
Rain ceased in middle of forenoon when wind
changed to westward. Cote', Wilfred,
and John went down to the Forks with three loads.
Spent all A. M. in camp. In the P. M. Fernald
and Joe started out. I did not feel like going
so stayed in camp. Cooked some "Chicote"
applesauce and wheat, fixed camp, built a
new bough bed, etc. Joe came back in late P. M.
to get some wood. Fernald went on from Pond
#101 to Marble Ridge. He came in just after
dark having had a hard slow trip home on account
of one of his boots hurting his foot. He gave
the boots to Joe when he got back.
August 13, 1906, Monday
Foggy all day except in late A. M. Rainy in the
late P. M. Put plants in to press in forenoon.
about 10.30 A. M. Joe, Fernald, and I started
out again and went along the meadows to the
northeast, to Pond #101, and then up Peak Four.
From there we started for Peak Five but stopped
on the way for lunch. In the middle of the
P. M. we reached the gorge from the Northeast
fork of the Ste. Anne River. We made a hurried
trip to the top of Peak Five (North Ridge)
We started back immediately on account of the
rain. Came back via big meadows and ponds along
headwaters of the northeast branch of the
River Ste, Anne. Got back to camp about 7.15
and found Cote', Wilfred, and John back from Forks.
