Saturday Sept. 10 Near Falls
The morning was very rainy, with
snow on the Mts. and we remained in
camp. We going to make a start in the
afternoon as it partially cleared but,
as we saw a goat on the nearest
Mountain we decided to try to get him.
Accordingly we all climbed up and
soon located and killed him. He proved
to be an old male and was very tenacious
of life. It was after sunset when we
finished skinning him, and loaded with
the skin and a lot of the meat we
started down to Mt. George was lighter
loaded and reached camp long after
dusk, but Dan and I after pushing
the first valley got into such a maze
I fallen tributaries and underbrush that
we decided to give up. So we built
a good fire and took naps. Besides it
was still daylight, and then soon model
camp.
On the Mt-side were many nests and other
signs of Perfora which had cut and
burnt quantities of firwood and laid
branches of it lying around in crowned
Miles.
Sunday left 11 To Falls Inc. Idaho
We made a rather late start, as the
forces had gone but quite away and
continued on down The North Fork. For
a while we had bad going and then
we got into a fine plant and
reached the falls of the river about
Camping time. The falls are merely
a succession of grumpy some arms
large breaches, but there is a drop
of probably 30 feet in a few yards
