Make 1959 Journal getting his aircraft ready. Beautiful morning. Bob left at about 9:30 saying he would return on the 21 at earliest. Baked a cake before noon, no vanilla in camp so used lemon juice for flavor. Unfortunately the acid in the juice reacted with the leavening + caused rather large amount of bubbles to evolve. It turned out fair - actually a bit on the saggy side. We were invited down to the Union Oil camp for supper. It was pretty well clouded over when we started by 10 PM or so it began to rain + 3 of us headed back. Rain began at 12:30 or so. Saw 10 sheep on MT3 on W. side of lake on way down. They were at the 5000 foot level - near peak. Union boys had shot a Dall Sheep; the head + skin were in a sack, the meat hanging up wrapped in gauge. Didn't look like an 'economies' job. Aug 20 Peters Lake. Explored the lake today using the outboard motor. Stopped off at N. end of Peters at spot I picked for possible archeological site. The site is on passageway between the lakes.
