Monday August 4 to Niantahalui Bear
We left our camp early and followed
the trail south-west of the valley.
At about 4 miles we passed a fine
lake on our right, in which was a
pair of loons. About 3 miles beyond
the trail which had been cut
comes to an end. We spent the rest
of the day prospecting and cutting a
continuation towards Tumbulani.
To the west lies the range fronting
the Bulldy Valley on which lies
a large Glacier. The hills to the
east are similar but not so high
but some high ranges can be seen
to the north.

Tuesday Aug 5 to Tumbulani 2000 ft.
Packed early as stated but had
to cut some more trail. Reached
Tumbulani about noon and north-eastward along the range to
find a camp but found no
suitable spot. We reached the
next pass about 3 o'clock.
Here we camped at Tumbulani
in a beautiful narrow glen
valley. It rained all
day.
