1927
January 26, 27:28 29 30 31 and
Feb 1 was spent in getting up
to Loessee and waiting for our eq-
equipment to get up there which is up
on a mountain called Loessee miles that
is 8000 ft high
Feb 2 1927
We set a trap line up in mountains
and in corn field around house which
we are staying which is surrounded
with corn fields and ditches on both side
with running water in them
Feb 3, 1927
while up on the mountain looking
at traps that we set for mice I
noticed the branches of an oak tree
moving about 60 ft high and after
watching for a while I saw no 15425-
jumping from limb to limb here
we shot it with 4.10 shot pistol the
trees in this forest are covered with a
parietic growth that you can hardly see
the animals that are in trees move
the day before we saw one running
along on some fence poles but was
gone before we could get a shot at
it of through the brush and vines
