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.
