172 CAMP FIRES IN THE YUKON 



our camp, four miles up Kennedy Creek, were the 

 rocky fronts of the goat range Baker had selected 

 as the paradise for these long-haired climbers of the 

 heights. 



It was somewhat of a surprise to learn that goats 

 and sheep were to be found in such close proximity 

 to each other, as the range where we had located the 

 sheep was separated from the goat range by only the 

 narrow canyon on Kennedy Creek not one hundred 

 yards across; yet Baker informs me that he has for 

 years observed these different animals living as near 

 neighbors, but has never seen them ranging together. 



Our fresh meat supply is entirely exhausted, and 

 as we plan to hunt goats to-morrow we have boiled 

 a supply of rice for our breakfast and supper, and 

 after our long days of hard travel coming out from 

 the St. Clair we once more gave ourselves up to the 

 enjoyment of sitting in front of a real camp fire and 

 planning our next day's hunt.
