May 24. To Bierer's Left Robinson's early and went on down the north side of the valley. A few miles below Rabuncois is the Collin Ranch 160 acres now the property of Pedersen who bought it for 500 dollars. This more abandoned virtually, pieces down and nothing being done yet. Below here we passed through a long stretch of sloping beaches grown up to many rank sage brush. The heard I have seen on the region. Some of the bushes are 8 feet high. Below here we found 2 elk, a Coy and a half, which had been killed by wolves within a few days. Below here we followed along the base of the Cliffs close to the Gros Ventre. This is a long stretch of very rough country. Here. Tracks of several MT Sheep were seen near the base of the cliffs. From which are marked for supper. Rode by the river. We looked over the cliffs with some care but over unable to see any sheep We had dinner at the mouth of Slate Creek, which empties into the Gros Ventre in a series of low falls. Slate Creek comes out of the hills through a Pine Lassen and from its valley a long pass connects with the valley of the Gros Ventre. Back of the Tough hills which border the Gros Ventre. From the mouth of Slate Creek when we reached we went on down and crossed the Gros Ventre by the Bridge at Turpini. This is near the Corner of Township 118. We then kept on down to Bierer's crossing the hills from Turpini by Redmond Creek. Saw a few elk and 3 male deer on the hills. Reached Bierer's between 5 and six o'clock. 17pm Bierer began just putting in oats Turpini planted oats about the 21st or 22nd
