76 About 4 miles Wednesday Aug 31. To Outlet Thuthale Lake We could not feed the old Horse (Phil), and after a long hunt looked for other horses and went on making another effort to find him. Reached the foot of the lake about noon. Dan caught up with us, not having succeeded in feeding them. We found the Sunday uncomfortable at the outlet and so made a raft and ferried across a narrow place a quarter of a mile above the outlet. It was camping time when we finished. We found the white cahm of a prospectors at the outlet. Rainbow Trout were numerous. Saw a number of birds. Not seen before for a long time Canton and more tracks along the shore white spruce a tree which we cut for a raft 13 miles at the base had 2.35 annulus mps. It was about 50 feet high 77 8 miles Thursday Sept 1. E Side Thuthale Lake We looked up a trail from the foot of the lake southward through a valley which lies a mile or two east of the lake, and making a late start made about 5 miles southward and camped on a pine clad ridge. The flies were very bad, worse than we have had them at any time. Our course lay along dry ridges grown up to medium pined pines and spruces and along marshy spots. We saw traces of what we suppose to Robertson's Trail but it is not well marked. Lepidodendron, Veticaden, Dablocus, Alnus Empetrum, Abies (on Mt. Felt) dwarf buck Arctous, Arctostaphylos vaccinium. (two species in fruit) Rubus (seeds as collected) Saw signs of Neshima on the rocks near the south end of Thuthale Lake bear
