Journal 102 R.E. Johnson 1968 Aug. 26 Sapphire Mtns, Montana (cont.) the county line & is covered by it on the Philipsburg Ranger District Map. Unfortunately an extensive mud puddle blocks the route to anything but a 4-wheel drive vehicle. This road or trail apparently would lead me almost to the top of the high peak, but it appears to be 8 or 9 miles distant. Routes to this peak had best be checked out at the district ranger station at Philipsburg before starting to it. I returned back to Copper Creek, Middle Fork of Rock Creek & finally to US [illegible] A & drove to Anaconda to pick up a few supplies, mail off some film, & etc. Camped at Spring Hill USFS Campground west of Anaconda on US [illegible] 10A Aug. 27 Anaconda-Pintlar Wilderness, Montana (Storm Lake & vicinity) Drove up the dirt road to Storm Lake into the north end of the Anaconda Range. This road leaves US 10A just east of Silver Lake. In the 1st mile there are many branches to the road (all unsigned). The correct road is usually the center road & most traveled. It is 9 miles to Storm Lake. The last 1½ miles a very rough & many leave their cars below & hike this portion. I left my VW 1 miles from the lake because of extensive muddy areas in the road at that point. I hiked to the lake & then on around the west side & up to Storm Lake Pass (2¼ miles from lake to pass). Initially the trail is in the woods, then it swings upward to the right (west) passing around a high meadow (surrounded by forest on 3 sides) & Little Rainbow
