Wednesday June 9 To Disaster Peak We got away in good time and both the roads westward up on the hills. It follows in a general way the state line about 12 miles, from town we had lunch in the Canyon of Leatherwood Creek. Then is a very long hard hill out of it. Then the road goes over the falling hills and descends after several miles into the basin of McDermitt Creek Near an around day ranches, We turned northward up the main branch and camped at the uppermost ranch now owned by Miller Clark The day was very warm. Thursday June 10. Disaster Peak went up the canyon a short distance and set treks in the valleys, and along the cliffs. The stream is bordered by impervious triple thickets of willow, Alder, Rose etc. The stream as oxped and abouts in twist. Found many birds nesting about the meadows and on the cliffs Friday June 11. It snowed in the night, and the day was very cold with rain or snow nearly all day. Took a few trips in my traps and shot some birds. The day was very unpleasant and not successful.
