 Boulder, Colo., Wednesday Aug. 31, 1910

Quite cool morning, but warmer than yesterday, warming up later. Got new pair high laced boots at Smith's, $7.75 Frank Rohwer and I stared for Eldora on the 1:15 p.m. narrow gauge train, fare $2.50 each. Hot at noon, cool, cloudy afternoon. Reached Eldora at 6:15 p.m. and went to Gold Miner Hotel. After supper we arranged with John Lilly for a team, as there are no saddle horses in town now.

Eldora, Colo., Thursday, Sept. 1, 1910

Bright, cool morning. Frank and I started with team and light wagon at 6:40 a.m. for Arapahoe. Left horses at Fourth of July Tunnel at 9:a.m.and reached rim of cirque at 10:15. Took 2 pictures and started down to the ice. Debris washed from the rim now stretches nearly across the ice at the point where I usually go down from the "saddle", so we walked across without touching ice except for the last 10 feet.
