R.E.Johnson 1968 Journal Aug. 24 Anaconda - Pintlar Wilderness, Montana (cont.) I hiked down the east talus slopes, then north to a small pond & down creek to Dreamers Lake, then down trail & up again over Pintler Pass & back to camp. The night was clear, windy, and warmer than the previous night. Aug. 25 Anaconda - Pintlar Wilderness, Montana Clear weather in the morning. I packed up & hiked back to the car, after a stop to visit the people on the AFA trip. [illegible] It didn't seem wise to collect today before hiking out since the warm weather was doing my dead birds no good. There was no snow close to camp that could be used to keep them cold. After arriving at the car I drove back to Copper Creek campground where I skinned all 8 birds. Additional notes from the previous few days: Plants in the high meadow where I camped (see Aug. 23): Purple Onion, Red Heather, Glacier Lily (seed pod), Bear Grass (gone to seed), Camas, Valerian, Bistort, Elephant Heads, Rush Cinquefoil, Parnassia, & a white Lousewort. Trees were White-barked Pine, Lodgepole Pine, Engelman Spruce, & Subalpine Fir.
