Mollie Adams Diary of her Journey in the Canadian Rockies, August 29, 1908

Boulder Creek Camp.
Saturday, Aug. 29.
               Off at 9.30.  3½ hrs. drive.  Weather more threatening and light showers during day.  We kept to the high water trail, as the other does not seem to be anything extra good anyway, according to the accounts we have heard of it.  Met an outfit as we were getting down toward the Ath valley. Bugler acted as if it was a bear when he first caught sight of them, gave a leap to one side and took a violent “sachez” at a tangent off into to the bush.  They looked like prospectors – two weather beaten old stagers, and a boy bringing up the rear, wearing a straw hat.  As they passed M. and me, one of the men said “Hello fellows.  Oh – ladies! – Excuse me!”  We camped at the same place as coming up.  Rain began in earnest at supper time and it poured all night.
               There are still beavers up the Miette.  Saw lots of fresh cuttings – one tree cut and fallen right across the trail.
