Along Woods Creek there were a great many Angels. We camped at about 1000' in a timbered meadow. A Parcupine had pretty thoroughly chewed the trees nearby. All the forest was Turnback. At night we heard the Scissors bark - even without moonlight. Aug 23. Fri/ As we started out through the timber we flushed a fine old cock grouse - the first prove of the birds. Later we flushed a second grouse. This was the best meadow yet for the birds. Probably a general house might have been found here.
