[[underlined]] April 25 [[/underlined]] Left Myersville at sunrise on a frosty, cold, raw, windy morning and after crossing the river climbed steadily up grade till we reached the top of Beaver Hill, where a fierce wind swept us from the snow covered Wind River Mts. and where patches of old snow were still lying on cold or drifted slopes.  Then down a steep slope of 300 or 400 feet & warmer valleys below and at 8AM reached Hailey, on Beaver creek where we got breakfast at the ranch post office & "road house".  A good breakfast & a good ranch.  Then we crossed ridge after ridge & valley after valley till we reached Lander at 5 P.M., each valley getting lower and greener as we descend into the Wind River Valley and occupied by good little ranches.
