Creator Transcript
  • Journal Windy Cabin on Panther River. July 3/43.[1943] Left Sawback lake at 9:30 - fine bright day gusty SW. [Southwest] wind up to 20 mph [miles per hour]. Stopped at cuthead cabin for lunch + reached here at 5:15 PM. Trail from Sawback to Cuthead very bad - numerous windfalls apparently at least a 2 year's accumulation. The entire Cascade valley is burned clean to timber line. At the NW [Northwest] corner of the junction of the n [north] + main forks of the cascade there is a mt [mountain] with a series of fine grassy meadows just below rimrock facing S [South]. [James (Jim)] Simpson has counted 60 goat on here in the fall. Looking up the N [North] Fork you can see some grassy hills W [West] of the trail near the pass. These are summer ram range. The lower parts of the entire upper Cascade supports a heavy growth of grass + by all sign supported a heavy population of elk last winter. Even so there is an adequate grass carryover. However there is no browse so that this bit of range will not hold elk all winter, they will drift down into the aspens + willows of the lower cascade. Along the Cuthead to the pass + down Wigmore creek the creek valley
