Continued up the canyon about 2 miles & the team horses balked & wouldn't start again, so we camped & sent the team back for another horse. Have a beautiful camp ground on a high bank of the creek under yellow pines & Populus angustifolia: Open flats have good grass for the horses & Upper Sonoran south slopes come down on one side while Transition timber covers the bottom of the narrow valley & the steep slope south of it. The creek is clear & cold & rapid and usually too wide to be jumped across. Set traps near camp. Found plenty of sign of Seiurus aberti but saw none of the squirrels. Rained hard in afternoon.
