[[underline]] March 27 [[/underline]] - Started at 7 A.M. on wolf hunt, with snowshoes, backpack of about = 15 lbs, including camera, and grub for 3 days. - A loaf of bread, piece of bacon, box of prunes, tea, coffee, sugar & salt - also box of grapenuts.
Tom started with me to get another boy to go, but on Rush Lake we met Earl Sharp, a bright young fellow who offered to go if Henry Hovery would not. 
Went west to Hovery's homestead on south shore of How Lake. Found his sap buckets all full (helped empty several) so he could not go & Earl went on with me for the trip. Not that I needed a man, but the club people were anxious to send a man for what he would learn & I was glad to have him carry the grub. We took no blankets but plenty of matches & salt.
