Aug 1st. Moved camp down to Buttles Lake & stayed overnight back to second lake next day; this Buttles lake is a lovely lake some 25 miles long by 1 to 1½ miles wide, as grazing or agricultural land around it being enclosed by mountains about 3000 ft high; our survey line crosses about 7 miles from its outlet.

Aug 2nd. We build a raft of red cedar on the lake and go for an exploring trip in the afternoon; see any amount of fine trout rising and we long to have a good meal of fresh trout once more;
