13 miles
Friday Sept. 2 To Atty-Chica Creeks
The horses had gone back a
long way and show [illegible]
when we got started. We made
our way southward along the
hill side, about 2 miles from
Thithade Lake. We found Robertson
Trail at intervals and reached
Atty-chick creek at its junction with
Kenee Creek shortly after noon.
We ascended the forma on the
west side following an Indian
trail which was well blazed
and fairly good for horses
[illegible] just before dark
about 16 miles
Saturday. Sept. 3. Atty-chica Creeks
We started at 1,30 and made
our way up Atty-chica Creek.
The trail followed the North side,
sometimes close to the stream but
usually on the bordering ridges
and went through brush.
We camped near a lake just
above the fork of Attyphica Creek
with another fording apparently
[illegible] from Robertson Trail
which we had followed all day.
(Later looked up his trail which
was on the hillside above our
camp.)
