Wednesday Aug 3 To 2nd Eagle Creek
We cached the canvas skins and
skulls and some other things and
made an early start. We went
through a series of spruce patches
and over a high bank, following
the bank of the Klappan. Then
we went through a series of
open glacial though dwarf Birch
bordered with pines and through
an extensive route. We passed
a small pond on our right where
there was a large Beaver house.
A mile beyond we camped on the west
side of 2nd Eagle Creek. We saw about 20
grats on the Tilt's our left. Bob went
after them and killed 2. Larry and
I followed and reached him just after
he had killed them. Saw a moose
