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.
