Took lunch at Webbers - but flew by
as his rabbit stew is even worse than
last year & the bridal chamber bed
still lacking fresh boughs. Elwell
has a young - but very dirty squaw - in
keeping with the rest of the rancherie.
-31st-
Left Elwells - 30 Mile RoadHouse
at. 6 a.m. - storm of wind and rain in our
faces - snow deep - trails bad. Barnette
& Manley cannot get horses through as
the snow is certainly too deep. Arrived
at 5. pm at Circle City, and put up at
Bob. Geis. Supper at restaurant - the
Koyukuk men took diner with me &
I thus paid them for meals at Webbers,
Elwells and on trail. Bath in
Geis kitchen & in a warm bed - my
feet are nearly well & I feel good -
