Saturday. August 9. on back trail Moved camp back to near where we cut the trace I followed the crest of a high ridge for some distance This one looked the valley of the creek on which we have been camped, or the head of which as a large snow field. Sunday August 10 Rainy in morning. In the PM we ascended and crossed the valley of the stream. We went up and climbed a wooded peak to about 630 feet where we could overlook the stream at the head of the stream and the surrounding happy peaks. Found no tracks on the signs of game, but saw at a distance Beyond, a place favorable for which which we may visit tomorrow. Late saw a chipmunk. the brute new turkentine. Crossed over a heavy marmot. Not a bird seen in sight.
