THE LOG OF
THE LIZZIE

Sunday, July 20; No travel, spent
the day camped on the banks of the
Madison River.
Monday, July 80; Travelled II miles
visiting geysers and other points OF
interest, and camped at the north end
of Yellowstone Lake.
Tuesday, July 81 Visited mud geys-
ers along the Yellowstone river, the
Grand Canyon and the wonderful Falls
of the Yellowstone, 800 foot drop.
Drove 40 miles and camped at Black
tail deer Creek, at the north end of the
route. Bought four gallons of gaso
line $l.S0, one quart of oil 3oc. The
elevation was over 5000 feet during
most of the days travel; one inch OF
ice in the water bucket this night.
Wednesday, August |; Principal
points of interest visited were Nam
moth Hot Springs, steam and mud
geysers at Norris Basin; distance AZ
miles. Camped in an isolated spot
near the Yellowstone river. Had our
first encounter with bear which
wanted our grub box. An electric
flash light seemed to make him nearly
as nervous as we were and he finally
made off to our satisfaction. The
government bulletins lay stress upon
the kindly disposition of the bears in
the park, but black bear as big as
yearling steer nosing around camp
about a M. calls for the exercise OF
considerable faith in the bulletins. As
the officer in charge disarms the tour
lists but fails to file the bears teeth, ii
looks as though Uncle Sam is a little
prejudiced in favor OF the bear 10
attempt to describe any part of this
wonderful tract would be useless. 1t
is sufficient to say that the show is
worth the admission fee OF $3.50 and
the attempt OF Uncle Sam to preserve
this, spot as unaltered, untouched, and
primitive nature is successful to such
an extend that last year bear ate up
a couple of teamsters who had the
hardihood to dispute possession OF a
ham with him.
Thursday, August 2; Broke camp at
a. m. passing rapidly to the eastern
boundary, making our total distance
n the park about 2l2 miles, good road |
but very steep grades. Principal
points were Shoshone dam BPS feet
high and only 10 feet across the top |
forming a giant cement wedge in the |
gorge and holding in storage the wat
ers of Shoshone river: also the road
to this point runs through several tun-
nels to Cody Wyo. Distance 10Y
miles, days travel 90 miles, time eight
hours. Bought 4 ? gallons gasoline
sl.35.
Friday, August 3; Left camp at7:30
a. m. through the section irrigated
from the Shoshone storage by the
town of Basin and Thermopolis, road
rough and chucky in places
Bought one quart of oil 25c, four gal
Ions OF gasoline $l.20. Travelled l20
miles in ten hours.

80 a. m, Is miles of mountain roads
