In the morning moved over to Crawfords 31/2 miles southeast. Will stay here one week, Rate $1.09 - @ 7.00 Walked in the morning about 2 1/2 miles sort on road down Crawford's Hotel, misting all the time and one can not see further than 1500 feet. Saw some grey- gneiss, The granites are very irregular in texture and mineral composition; many quartz dikes. In the afternoon walked south on Boston and Main R.R. about 2 3/4 miles. If the day had been clear I would have had a fine view of it outside \ \ felt Crawford's Hotel rally, but have to try again. At the section house about 2 miles east of Crawfords can be seen much dark-green gneiss. It stands on end. Several bedding planes showed something like large freezing cracks -- hardly saw cracks. Can there be min- eralizations due to metamorphism? These beds might yield fossils if one could get large surfaces, What is the age? Certain older than Upper Devonian. At the Hotel in the evening grand display of beer baths and lips. Best time for society and what it comes here for. A good time -- no intellectual efforts!
