Friday August 15 To near Stump Camp
Left our camp in Wb. N. of the
Bobin Trail in afternoon and
went down to trail and eastward
about 14 miles to the forks of
Bear River where we camped
in good time. Saw a snake
[illegible] and took a
[illegible] of Franklin's grass
Red squirrels are rather
scarce, but reach to near
timberline
Saturday August 16 To Fort Bobina
Went eastward on the Trail
Had dinner on the summit east
of Stump Camp. My Barometer
read 4100 feet at highest
point on trail. The actual
demise is about 3900 feet.
Country dry and burned one.
Beyond the demise we descended
rather abruptly and soon entered
heavy coniferous timber. Spruce
Fair and occasional stretches
of Lodge pole pine. There is
a very heavy growth of under-
brush including Devil's club.
We got to Fort Bobina rather late.
It is situated on the eastern shore
of Bobinahole, just above its
outlet, and is quite a typical
H.B. Post.
