Thursday Oct 16 To Old Kulelo (1500)
Left at 9:30 and continued on through
The open for a while when The ford
was fairly good except when it
became a creek. Saw deerfeed act
for deer. Seen fresh tracks of black
bear, mountain lion, pronghorn, rabbit.
Main dinner at 12 at Cotton Flat

We camped at Old Kulelo the
site of a once populous Indian village.
Now the stelkheads are fallen in number
about 90 or 100 years ago a nearly as
seemed broken. The Stikenes surprised
the village and killed nearly all the people
driving them into the canyon. The village
was for a time occupied by a few
people but is now deserted except by
our family.

Friday Oct 17 To 2nd Cabin
We left in good time and followed
the trail through the coniferous
woods. About 4 o'clock we came
out on a burnt dry bench
and saw 2nd Cabin. We
owned a good-sized creek
and followed along its bank
for a while or so and then
climbed the bank to the
cabin. Went in about a
mile and camped about
South on the edge of a
large open flat.
