62. Journal

[[underline]] April 23 [[/underline]] Woke up in the Ferris Hotel at [[Roseline?]] & found myself in very comfortable quarters.  Made up my 5 chipmunks, pinned them down in a box and nailed them.  Wrote Green River Valley [[bird?]] report, letters and journal notes up to date, got ammunition, negatives and supplies for the trip, sorted ^ [baggage] and packed my duffle bag ready to take the stage for Lander in the morning.

[[underline]] April 24 [[/underline]] Left Rawlins at 7:30A.M. on a cold, wet, windy morning and drove 45 miles over sage plains long ridges and alkaline lake basins to Lost Soldier, the stage station at the base of the Lost Soldier Mts., or Green Mts., at 5 oclock.  Changed horses twice and got dinner at a state station.  Passed only one poor ranch, but many sheep wagons with herds of sheep.
