In early evening climbed knoll behind camp between showers + saw 12 ewes, almost certainly these have been counted before. Rocky Forks. Aug [August] 6/43 [1943] Left Cairn Cabin at 11 AM. + rode through to the cabin here in 4 hours - distance 21 miles. After we are over the pass the country becomes progressively more rocky with steep hillside slopes many of them grassy. On these however on the west side we saw only goats. On the east side there are some grassy patches high up upon which warden [Edward] McDonald tells me that [word crossed out] a few sheep winter. He also tells me that there are a few sheep all the way down to about mile 43 + then there is a gap between the range + that around the highway. Also that last winter for the first time elk - old bulls - wintered in at Medicine lake + in as far as Jacques lake. Has seen sheep in winter on Southesk
