August 8, 1905, Tuesday
Clearing somewhat last evening and cooler. Broke
camp about 9.00 A.M. and were ready to go up
the mountain. Left camp near the forks of the
Ste. Anne River about 9.40 A.M. Fernald and I
carried small packs, camera and collecting
boxes. We went up over a near ridge and then
down through a ravine then up the main mountain
stopping every ten minutes for a rest. Cote',
the two Gaglion boys, and Joe Fortin carried heavy
packs. We reached an altitude of 3250 feet about
1.30 P.M. and decided to camp there. Cote',
Fernald and I stayed up the mountain; the rest
of the men went down to the river camp. About
3.00 P.M. Fernald and I went up the mountain
botanizing and left Cote' to fix camp. He came
up the mountain later.
