" [[Ditto for: Aug.]] 21 Dutcher, Streator & I took a trip up the creek valley for about 4 miles & drove the thick brush along the creek. Hoped to drive out Deer or Bear or other game but did not succeed. Found some Beaver ponds & dams & set the No. 3 trap for them. Went up another deep, rocky cañon to the west of the creek but found nothing except a few Deer tracks.
Did not return to camp till about 2 P.M. Made up some skins & set a few traps in P.M.
