Lake to Thorofare
Leaving Lake at 9:00 AM we rode
through ice covered grass, covered
from a wet snowfall during the night
and heavy frost. Ice on streams and
puddles forking everywhere. Day windy
and cold but clear until evening
when it became cloudy. No game
seen until late in the day, except the
Canada geese, ducks 7 12 swans
at Mary's Bay lagoon. Numerous
Rocky Mt. Dogs, and Chickarees and
chipmunks were the constant company
of our trip. Two Ruffed Greaves were
seen east of the Lake and two at
Calvin Creek. One Calif. Gull was
still flying over the lake. Two
moose were seen about 3 miles
north of Calvin Creek. They were
very wild. In spite of there being
excellent forage in the meadows
no other moose were seen. It is
thought they are more constantly
in the timber since the beginning
of the rut. About 2 miles below
Calvin Creek we heard what I thought
to be an elle bugling. Bagger
suggested that it might be a wolf
or some other animal. It was a
strange call.
