[[underlined]] Base of Arc Dome [[/underlined]]

[[underlined]] May 21 [[/underlined]] Took up traps and made up our specimens. In P.M. (3 oclock) Packed up & started up the slope to make a higher camp. Put a good pack on Jack so as to lighten the load & followed Reese River up about 4 miles and then up a little branch that rises in the gulch on N.W. side of Arc Dome. Followed this creek up about a mile or two & camped at entrance of a long gulch in a grove of stunted Populus tremuloides. An old wagon road has once extended farther up the gulch, probably for white pine timber, but is not now passible beyond our camp. Willows and poplars border the stream all along. The ridges are covered with Sagebrush and a few Cercocarpus trees.

Camped at 5:30. Came up 1000 feet from 7700 at lower camp to 8700 at upper. Set some traps. Shot a Lagomys.
