we proceeded to Little Beaver Creek and up White River to Buford, 

 Marvine Lakes and Trapper's Lake, and returned to Newcastle by the 

 Mud Spring road over White River Plateau. The greater part of the 

 distance traveled was over good roads, which gave two horses very 

 little trouble with our heavy load. Where we pulled out of the White 

 River Valley, however, the long, steep, rocky hill, badly washed road and 

 wet weather which then prevailed required a division of the load, with 

 five horses. The roads extend to within five or six miles of Marvine 

 Lakes and Trapper's Lake. We reached Newcastle on the return, 

 September 4.
