Thompson Mammoth to Washburn to Canyon to Norris. 283. July 14, 1932 This morning Dr. Castler & I drove to the top of Mt. Washburn to get coneys pictures. When we got there the day had become so cloudy, cold & windy that it was impossible to find coneys. The ranger on top the mt. reported that 5 adult sheep with 3 lambs had been seen in the morning. Thirteen had been seen a few days previously. On the south slope of the mt. well up toward timber line we saw a black bear & 2 cubs. They paid little attention to us when we stopped & made no effort to come to the car. They were all in good condition, & were eating herbage. On the road to Canyon we encountered another bear & cub. They were eating and grass. The adult ate an Arnica? blossom also. These bears were typical hold-up bears but they kept eating herbage as long as no one would feed them. [illegible] 15 bears, all blacker & browner, were seen in the Canyon region as we drove through. They were scattered around the camps, incinerator, & down the road. All were begging, and all in gaunt condition. Along the Yellowstone River
