"Can perhaps make our Lake Camp" Tomorrow--farming camp
We got a glacier.
Snowing again today and
very cloudy so that it is
impossible to see for any
distance but what I could see
through the falling snow and
clouds was magnificent --
towering mountain peaks
everywhere.
Friday. May 15th
66th day
8 A. M.
From lake to lake today - 11 1/2
hours. Lost one snow shoe and
was obliged to go back a mile
or so and get it. Liz- and E-
went on and made tea at
top of glacier. Arrived at lake
here at 5:30 after an exciting
run down the glacier, Liz-
overturning his hornalib and
breaking it- Both gloves are down.
Has been snowing all night
but has now cleared up
giving us a chance to make
our beds and dry our shoes.
