Monday Aug 24. Hudace Lake We got started late as the horses had come back on the trail about 5 miles. We followed down the creek through the brule and made our way northward along the shore of the lake toward its supposed outlet. We travelled until nearly dark and camped on a point. Alders and Quakeum poplar grow along the shore of the lake. The cuttin not common and 9 small pigeons 10 miles in lake Tuesday Aug 30 7 near end Made a good start and proceeded along the shore the lake until nearly dark Its shore line was mostly lined with boulders through stretches of gravel or occasionally a sandy beach afforded better travelling. The woods bordering the lake were well nigh impassable.
