June 3. To Jackson Lake via upper
Bridge & Buffalo
We left the Forest Ranger Cabin
on the Buffalo and drove both
across Bench Creek to the
Buffalo Bridge and then up
the Buffalo on the North side to the
upper Bridge 12 miles above.
We saw a few elk small %
along the Buffalo on both sides
Many had crossed the Buffalos
into the Game Preserve.
On the North side of Buffalo
is a good road just as far
as we went to the Upper Bridge
then it crosses and continues
on to Fort Washakie. At the
crossing place on the north side
in Jump Meadows a wet
groovy meadow bordered by
the usual sagebrush flats.
After lunch on this path we
turned back and drove to
Allens Ranch near Moran when
we stopped for the night.
Saw an elk or two near Allens
June 4. To Upper end Jackson Lake
and Rhin to Moran
We left Moran fairly early and
drove up the east side of Jackson
Lake between the country of
Consorts of a succession of gravelly
ridges and sagebrush flats.
Partially clothed with pined
growth lodgepole pine.
A few elk seen in
the pine openings.
Sylvan Creek is crossed a few
miles above Moran. Its lower
part near either it enters the
Lake is bordered by an extensive
Yellow Swamp.
Photographed Pear House near Allens
Mr. Sheffields tells me that this
creek falls west to cross many
below its outlet but last fall
cross through the lower end of
the lake. They have sometimes
crossed back over the same route
in early summer.
A bunch of Fox G. Antelope was seen on
the flats near Crowfoot about June 1.[illegible]
