we did; a long, lank Kentuckian named Burkes, Papa and I stayed at the first camp that night and started down the Canyon very
early the next morning, tramped slid, or crawled as the case might be, all day over awful rocks and through fearful brush,
saw the most wonderfully glorious views, had a grand storm in the afternoon got back to our nights camp where the horses were
at seven, and back here to the meadows about nine that same night, three tired but very happy mortals. All the people in camp
at once tried to find things for us to eat, and built a big fire for us to get dry by, after I had supper I felt as well as
ever and after having slept the sleep of the just that night would have been glad to do it again the next day, Papa and Mr
Burkes were alright too although they stayed in camp and slept most of that day but the three others who went in did not know
the way so well and were awfully tired and scratched up by the rocks and brush. Helen has gone on all the other trips and
enjoys every minute she is here, we are going up on Unicorn Mountain tomorrow and she will tell you about that. There are
a great many pretty little squrells and chipmunks all around camp, which are so gentle and full of curiosity that they will
almost let you touch them, if you whistle to them they will listen with the greatest interest and enjoyment for half an hour
or more at a time, their special 08560
