General Account
5 August Jago Lake
Stream-worked gravels of the river bed.
Along some of the benches, e.g. loggers' rows,
dense stands of knee-high Betula
grace. The crests of ridges and knolls
are mostly rocky with a covering
of lichens, decumbent forbs and willows.
6 August Jago Lake
At 1335, I began laying out transects
for the first two traplines. This work
was completed and the troops set out by
1735. At 1745 I walked south to
the Knoll ca 1 mile away, which
commands an excellent view of the
river valley, and then back along the
first bench above Jago Lake to camp,
arriving at 1850.
Fog and clouds began moving in
from the north around 0800 and the
sky was completely overcast by 1000
with the ceiling down at the level of
the third bench above the lake. The
ceiling continued to drop and by 1430
the fog was at the level of the river.
At 1850 it started misting, by 1930
the mist was turning to rain. At 2115
the rain changed to slushy snow. There
were a few minutes of hard snow fall,
