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!
