Mollie Adams Diary of Her Journey in the Canadian Rockies June 25, 1908
Camp Parker
Thursday, June 25
An. 6450 ft. at 7:30 A.M.
6300 ft. at 8:30
Clearing after breakfast and a pleasant warm day. 4½ hours drive to Mrs. Nicholl’s camp. An. gave Nigel Pass 7400 feet. Mrs. N.’s camp 6400 ft. U. saw 5 sheep on the pass in P.M. M. and I took a short walk, then M. started to skin a gopher they caught yesterday. I objected a little to the smell thereof, and suggested that next time she should skin specimens the same day they were caught. But I was quickly squelched and told that was the nature of the beast. U. finished up with the skinning and Mr. B. had his finger in the pie too. The rest of us did the heavy looking on, well to the windward, and I contributed naphtha soap at the finish. We had one of these very pretty but ominous red sunsets we knew so well last year.
