[[underlined]] Aug. 7 [[/underlined]] Nothing in traps, nothing came along but one small possum. Rained hard.

[[underlined]] Aug. 8 & 9 [[/underlined]], Nothing in traps and no tracks except at one trap where coyotes scratched the dirt off the spring. Took them up, Went on top of Elk Mountain with Mr. Morrissey. The highest peak is a great boulder 100 feet high that we couldnt get up on. It is 750 feet higher than the ranch and the ranch is 300 feet higher than [[strikethrough]] the [[/strikethrough]] Cache, which is 1275 feet. The mountain is of coarse granite in great masses and boulders & ledges - cliffs, very rough & picturesque. Cold streams & springs come out of cracks in the rocks, Oak brush & Junipers fill in the cracks between the rocks-grassy meadows & flats are common.

Looked over buffalo pasture & along creeks for beaver pasture.
