Mammoth to Specimen Ridge
October 11, 1933.
After noon I drove to Gardiner and
returned via the old road. 53 antelope were counted near Gardiner.
11 Bighorns were upon the top of
the west slope of Mt. Evart. 38 more antelopes were counted out
in the Trumpeter Lark region,
making a total of 91 seen during
the afternoon. Buffalo tracks
numerous around Specimen, Mt.
although I saw no buffalos. One
coyote seen 3/4 mile west of
Tower Falls ranger station.
Chapmans were at the Beaver
pond taking pictures. They had
cut numerous sections of aspen
trunks yesterday & throwing
them into the pond. Today
the geavers stayed in the
pond all day eating the bark
from these logs. Muskrats
and several C. geese are in
the pond also.
It is worth noting here that
every night at Mammoth several
coyotes howl about the Parade
Ground & on the hill. Last night
they came down to the stables &
howled. 4 or 5 are here at a time.
