General Account
5 August Jago Lake
a 9 1/2 up along a high beach, and then
turned off for more leisurely walking
and bird observation. At 1415, I turned
down from the high beach into the flats
and back along the river toward camp.
I returned to camp at 1605. At 1700 I
walked down to the river from camp
and then up along the high beach on
the east side of Jago Lake to the north
end of the lake and return along same
route—arriving camp 1820. At 2230
I walked south to the little Knoll
or peak ca 3 1/4 mi away from camp to
look for my gypsalan. Returned
to camp at 2330. Retired at 2400.
Skies have been mostly clear
with little or no wind since my
arrival. Mountain peaks visible at
all times.
All the immediate ground for
several miles around Jago Lake is
glacial in origin. There are three
or four successively higher beaches
in the valley. I have seen no evidence
of polygonal rocks and I would guess
there is no peat soil; osthnoil is
our, ca 1 foot deep over the gravel and
