Stone Sheep Hunt Day 2 July 29, 2008

 Had bean sandwiches for breakfast.  Collected water.   Bryan makes a spout with a piece of alder bark he had peeled off a small tree.  He makes a hole and puts a twig through the bark and into the dirt to hold spout.. Then letting the water clear for several minutes before he filled the bottle.

9 am and we are packed and ready to head up the hill again.  Lots of times Bryan went back for both of our full packs.  Hannah started to avoid her pack.
5 pm..... Vikki is getting tired, clouds are making it dark, but we can't camp here.  It is wet moose meadow and lots of red flying bugs and mosquitoes.  Saw one whisky jack.  Heard a Beaver bush plane land at the east end of the lake around noon and later in the day saw a boat down on the lake looking for horses. 
Finally found a good spot to camp.  Had Corn Beef and Bread for supper.  Bryan made another great balsam bow bed.  In bed by 9 pm.
Making balsam bow mattress.

Small tent and sleeping bag goes on top of orange tarp

Getting stored cache of food from up in the trees next morning.
