August 19, 1896, Wednesday 
Somewhat showery. Stayed about camp most of the time until 
4.00 P. M. helping to break camp. Abbut 4.00 P. M. we drove to 
Flags tall and then to Stratton arriving there about dark. 
We were all very wet and cold. Did not pitch tent but found 
aaplace to sleep on hay in a barn at the north edge of the 
village. The owner of the barn was very reluctant to allow 
strangers in his barn until we told him. that there wasn't a 
smoker in the crowd. . We then took to the haymow with the cattle 
below us. 
August 20, 1896, Thursday 
Mostly clear. About 8.00 A. M. we got started- we drove nearly 
all day except at lunch at C&rrabasset about noon, and arrived 
within a mile of North New Portland about dark. We pitched our 
tent by the roadside near a barm. At Carrabasset we discovered 
that the off horse was minus a shoe, so we had one put on in 
Kingfield.
