continuing furring trip 1931

as from where we saw the black fox. we did not get any furs up to now we was nearing john lewiek we came to a place called gig naps a high sort of whale back ridge. pop stopped half way to the top and dug a hole in the earth. he began to scoop out handfuls of orange color powder a little further up he dug mor of a different color sort of redish. he told me this is red ochre it's what the red indians used to rub on their faces to make their faces red.we passed a few small ponds there were a few shell birds swimming around not our kind of meat so we did not bother with then we reached john lewiex before sundown no furs at all very discourageing.I believe I got ahead of myself with the last post.
