Sunday August 21 To -- Pass
We got away about 10 and made
our way in a S.E. direction
along the timberline and went down
into the next valley which we
ascended a couple of miles and
climbed out to cross a high
pass between two ridges to the
next large valley to the East, instead
of going around as it seemed
very pret. Saw a far Carbon
at our night camp which is
only 5 or 6 miles nearly due
east of our last camp across
the mountain
10 miles

Monday Aug 22 To -- Creek
We got away in good time and
ascended to the summit of the pass
and descended the south east
slope of the mountain which
was quite steep. We then
descended a small stream
and crossed a big brook
to the next stream which we
crossed and then descended.
Its valley is broad with terraced
slopes some of which are dry
level and well grassed. In
the valley are several lakes
in basins. We camped a
short distance above the junction
of the streams with another
from the North.
