[[blank page]] [[end page]] [[start page]] up a low ridge to the east and over a low divide & down to a branch of Piney Cr. With a gentle descent for about 4 miles we struck Piney Creek and following down it about 4 miles camped for the night. Came about 15 miles I guess. Three rain showers struck us in the afternoon and spoiled all the barometer readings. It varied up & down 300 or 500 feet at a jump without any changes of altitude. At camp on starting it read 9300 & on the divide 8900 & at camp on Piney Creek 8000. These are probably approximate. The divide was the easiest crossed except one short hill that was so steep it stuck us & we got a traveler to haul us up with his mules ahead of our team. Saw 2 fresh Bear tracks along road & drove the willows for about a mile along La Barge Creek but did not start one. Passed through pretty country, meadows & parks along the streams & thick pine & spruce timber. Good grass where the sheep have not taken it all. Saw 2 large droves of sheep. Found S. armatus & Tamias minimus in the lower parks.
