Tuesday Aug 16 To Telaw Hot [illegible]
We made a [illegible] start and soon
reached the Lake which we skirted
on its northern shore. Near it
lead we found a camping place
where there were two Indian groves
beyond we followed the beach
to near its outlet and then across
a succession of swampy plains
and willow grown swamps, and
camped about 3 miles below the
lake, where we intend to cross
the stream, its outlet.
This Lake is famed for its fish

shore grow many aspens and

We set off early and after
getting across the river, we found

we followed it all day going close
to the stream in an easterly direction

and struck the Corss part of a
tributary from the south, which
we ascended still on the trail

from its mouth.
