[[underlined]] To Camp on Little Colo at 8500 feet. [[/underlined]]

[[underlined]] Sept. 10 [[/underlined]]. Continued over open yellow pine mesa about 5 miles to where we strike the Little Colorado River at a mile or two below Greer, then up about 2 miles above Greer & camped in the canyon at about 8500 feet, on the yellow pine slope. The opposite slope (NW) is Aspen, spruces and firs from top to bottom. The canyon here is about 600 feet deep with steep sides & narrow bottom. The Creek is a roaring stream just too big to jump across & heavily fringed with Alders & willows. A little open slope gives us a beautiful camping place with good Canadian zone trapping ground along the stream & on the cold slope.

Reached camp before noon & worked on reports till time to set out traps.
