Found some pretty little basins with streams & lakes & meadows but all eaten bare by sheep. Came back over the trail east & north of Summit House. Saw a big Arctomys on rocks near the hotel. [[underlined]] July 10 [[/underlined]] Packed up & moved camp to head of Ampitheater 2 miles south of Donner to 7500 feet altitude. Camped by little meadow near snowbanks under the hemlocks. The two ridges running east & west & turning north from Lincoln Peak form a circular ampitheater that was once the rim of an immense crater. The glacier has cut out the north side of rim, & woods and meadows now fill the gulch. The remaining part of rim including Lincoln Peak, is lava & cinder & burnt rock. Lava & volcanic rock extends south to Tinker's Knob at best. Set traps in meadows near camp.
