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. Thursday May 14th 65 th day 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.
