[[underlined]] July 23 [[/underlined]] Sunday – caught nothing in the few traps we had set. Went for a long ride over the ridges and saw some Bear signs, saw where one had gnawed the bark off a popple and rubbed some brown hair off on another tree.
Saw a lot of Sage hens and killed 3 old ones. They are good and do not taste of sage. Some familiar plants are common here around camp. Potentilla fruticasa, Frazera speciosa, Pentstemon barbatus ?, and Gilia agrigata besides Artemisia tridentata A. cana & A. trifida are common. Fragaria glauca and Amelanchier are common.
Pseudotsuga douglasii and Abies (concolor?) are the only conifers seen. Juniper & Arcocarpus and Populus tremuloides and Acer glab[[strikethrough]] e [[/strikethrough]] rum [[strikethrough]] us [[/strikethrough]] [[glabrum]] are the principal trees. 
There are lots of grassy park-like meadows but the grass is short and gnawed down by cattle and sheep. Where sheep have run the ground is mostly bare of grass & small plants. A cold night and frosty morning. A cool day & cold evening.
