90 Wednesday Sept 14. 9 miles To Some Place Started early and cut Track ahead . Had saw going and left for the south side. The Track led through burnt areas along the forkroad, and then dipped down toward the river and followed a fine ridge for a mile or so and then entered the heavy green timber. We then crossed another brush area and camped among poplars and spruces on a flat close to the river. Leaves on Poplars, buckthorn and willows now turned and falling. A little devils club in the bottoms some. Cornus stolonifera they found 1? Ribe, rubrum nearly all fallen and that 1 Cornus canadensis are drying up. 91 Thursday Sept 15- 7 miles To near South Fork Started out ahead with axes as usual and after Dan started back I kept on. It crosses the river toward evening and cut a mile or so and then went back and awaited the tram. They arrived after a little and after crossing we camped as it looked as if a heavy shower was upon us. Had saw, good going and in the east part of the burn today and at camp as apparently below all of it as the timber is green on both sides as far as we can see
