Wednesday May 13th
64 th day
It seems like Sunday today
as it is a day of rest for us
to strengthen the dogs for the hard
climb tomorrow deep the glaciers.
Gave them a feed of venison
of last night and will feed
one can blue tonight.
Ri[illegible] snow fell today and
yesterday. It looks as if winter
had just begun here as there
is even so much more snow
than when we were here before.
There is a wolf just west
of range watching us. We may
got a shot at him later.
We are leaving here at
8 tonight- as we have not
enough food for our dogs or
ourselves if we stay until
tomorrow.

5:30 A.M.
Just finished a 9 hour march
walking all the way on snow
shoes through heavy going over
the hills to what appears to be
the bed of an old lake.
