Set a few traps. Made up skins in P.M. A cloudy, chilly day. Cleared up at night. " [[Ditto for: June]] 14 A little frost in morning. The snow high up froze hard. Went up the Mt. again. Couldnt find any Woodchucks, killed 6 Spermophiles, could have shot 20 but wanted to get more other things. Caught 2 Thomys & shot a Tamias lateralis & a T. 4vittatus. Caught an Hesperomys. Got back to hotel at noon & worked till 9 P.M. to get the things all put up. It is a long, steep climb of 2 or 3 miles up the Mts. & takes too much time, but there seems to be no other way to manage. The snow lies in great beds, deep & solid over most of the north slope high up. Some avalanches have come down & are piled up, - snow & dirt & stones & trees - at the foot of the peaks. A pleasant day, clear & not too warm.
