May 25. To Jackson Left Bierers quite early and took the trail down to southeast side of the Gros Ventre Saw tracks of a good many elk, which had been coming up from Dry Hallow and the adjacent hills and had crossed the Gros Ventre. We saw no elk while coming down Dry Hallow and at no moment that the bulk of those we saw on the way up have gone northward across and up the Gros Ventre. We reached Jackson in the middle of the afternoon [illegible] All Austin left me that he saw a young calf in the Hobock Valley, a day or two ago May 26 Jackson Snowy and sleeting in the night and morning and all the hills are white above 7000 feet and thin as some below that altitude May 27.
