12 miles wth Driftwood
We left rache late and left the
trail which followed the valley
of the Driftwood to the last of
the river occasionally touching
it. Climbed a creek about 10 miles
up. Saw groups of beaver, bear
and minks. Rabbit common.
Our night camp was about
three miles above the creek,
on the bank of Driftwood River.
Caught a trout in evening
a canoe of Indians when
I was broken from Bean
Lake including Bean Lake Indian
Janes dinner post after we camped
(Monday Aug 25 7 to 8 miles Leaving

We made a good start and took
the trail northwards. It continued good
passing through mixed woods and
several stretches of pine thickets
in level ground. Saw a good
many grouse. Chipmunks pretty
common. Saw foxes, cat
marten and Fisher. Rabbits
quite common.
