Wednesday Sept 17. I. Near Thudale.
The day was fine.
We left about noon and
went Northward up the rally
beyond Thudale. Camped
about 2 miles from
Thudale. The sun rose
in the East and set in the West.
We saw many Stormparrs
the day and shot two.
About our camp in the night
when daylight was just
coming the willow flange
were very active and many
flying about and settling
on the grassy flats.
Believe me that no carbon
remains a matter about 1800
Take the Sault Mt or about
five miles all going north to the
ridge about its head gets Slated
they go to Sept 17th at 6am. 1943
Thursday Sept 18. To Summit beyond Thudale.
We left a good time and took the
Trail down the valley of the Creek, another
the main trail keeps on beside the creek
side and goes to the N side of
Thudale. Descended along the
creek of the Mt eastward and we
soon had a view up Thudale like
descending. We crossed a broad
Creek over knee deep. The peaceful
affluent 2 Thudale at this creek
We then crossed a broad burned
area with willow, Impelirium where
many grizzlies had been feeding.
We then ascended a small creek
after every along a long slope
(The Indians call this valley Willahop
(meaning the Grizzly fall down))
and crossed
at about 5 miles above Thudale.
We then ascended the rally for
a small tributary for the South
and gained new timberline
at 5100 feet. We have a well
marked Indian trail, much used
long ago but now seldom followed.
They say that horses for new settlement.
