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.
