To the shore at this point & there is a remnant
of a moraine which rises 20 feet above
the lake. There are signs of recent campers
on shore below moraine. On top of
moraine I picked up a black shale scraper
blade. It was some 4 inches long x 2½ x
3 wide & oval shaped. I found it
by a 30" hole dug by a geologist or
soil man. Don't know from where sleep
at what depth it came. Found nothing
else but a few bone fragments on
the surface. Proceeded to lake for then
to exit from shudder lake - a large
rapid boulder filled stream. Walked
around a bit. The shores of shudder are
vastly different from those of peter. In passing
from one lake to the other, one makes the
connection from the mountains to the
foothills & the shores here are rounded
hills covered with what looks like typical
foothill timber vegetation. Returned to
titus & check other site found by Ed
Mueller at bend of stream on NE side of
lake. Many many bone fragments in
the ground along shore & embedded in the
peat to a depth of 6-8 inches. No sign of
recent habitation. There may be an old site -
and the oil crowd down for dinner
