54 Wednesday Aug 10. Across Spa-tee-za R. We left camp at 9.30 and followed down the creek soon crossing it and following the trail left yesterday to the junction of the creek with the Spa-tee-za about 5 miles. We crossed the stream which was big deep and then followed its eastern bank over rough ridges for about 3 miles. In attempting to ascend the stiff side of a side canyon one of the horses fell, and rolled to the bottom with the kitchen outfit and gum. Fortunately it ran ashore and little damage was done to the outfit. We made camp on the bank of the valley and arranged our outfit. Eugene brown hawks 55 Thursday Aug 11. Spa-tee-za River Remained in camp, spying out a route and deciding on just where our outfit to cache and lighten our load. Dan climbed to timberline and reported that we were nearly 40 miles but far down to enter the pass. The day was cool with threatened rain, and toward evening it snowed on some of the nearby mountains. Last night water froze nearly an inch in the kettle. Saw little of interest.
