F. Cole 1957 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,
