Journal 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
