road cuts gray or whitish granite was exposed the first work of this sort I have seen since coming south.  At 1:30 P.M. we reached a stream situated in a deep ravine amid newly burnt grass lands & here we camped as A was down with the malaria.  The grass was just opening up & a new crop of Pteris ferns or brackens which are all thru this region dominate over the grass.
The mafus gather the new fern stalks & boil them for food.  I tasted some which was rather glutinous & spinach like in taste.  The camp was about 5 hrs from the small village of Nang-sai.  No sign of game mammals or birds were seen here.  At the creek flowing past camp a new stone bridge of white granite had been built, the rock taking at the creek side.
