[[underline]] Aug. 7 [[/underline]] Moved camp up to the [[underline]] lake at east base of Pecos Baldy [[/underline]], about 3 miles above our last camp and 600 feet higher. Camped in a Picea grove on south side of lake and about 50 feet higher up. The lake is 11600 feet as nearly as the aneroid readings show. It is in pure Hudsonian zone. On the east slope Canadian zone stops about 200 feet lower down. On S. W. slope of Baldy it runs about 400 feet above us.

[[underline]] Aug. 8 [[/underline]]. Set traps up on saddle east of Baldy, hunted & made up skins. Rained & hailed by spells in P.M. cold & raw, but cleared up beautifully in evening with full moon & a glorious night-clear & cold.
