Journal spreading out of some time [illegible] several territory announcements on part of 2 hubs Heavy rain + wind late in evening May 24 Pitsneges Line. Rain [illegible] stopped during night but wind continued blowing 30-40 mph all day. Had great fun wrestling with the tent, lengthen my poles erecting wind break, small put up to guy ropes when all fell [illegible] cold, cloudy + some rain + snow flurries. Made 2 trip sounds - morning + evening. Wind continues. May 25 Pitsneges Line Spent several hours fooling with tent. Now lowest guyed from all four corners. All poles lengthened to maximum + tightened these with aide of our frying pan. Can top line + pulled in tops. Walked upstream a mile to a stream we couldn't cross. Followed inland about 2 miles to a high ridge beyond the one reached on first day. Made a circle then the angle between two ridges - saw pole here + returned to tent at 6 P.M. Melt off has proceeded steadily + rapidly inspite of the raw windy weather. Tho.
