Pipestone Camp. July 19, 1943.
Today rode up the Little Pipestone +
down the Red Deer to Drummond Creek -
a distance of about 12 miles - and
return. The day almost set a record
by remaining fine except for a
light shower in mid-afternoon.
The pass is a low one 6750' +
except for the usual birch + willow
meadows along the watercourses
is timbered all the way. The mountains
are rugged, the winter snowfall
deep. A few moose had wintered
high up + no doubt some goat
on the high s. [south] facing slides.
The grass patch on mt [mount] Cyclone
upon which [Warden Percy] Woodworth saw 5 or 6
sheep (ewes + lambs) wintering is
not more than 10 or 20 acres
in extent.
Game seen mule deer 2
goat 15.
