June 4, 1904.  To "The Caves".  I took the Emory Grove car and got out
at the Garrison Church Lane.  To-day, instead of going by way of Cap't Nicholson,
I went along Garrison R'd to the avenue near the blacksmith's.  I followed
it to the first avenue leading to the left.  It took me right to "The
Caves" and the new avenue, right past the old saw mill.  The day
was extremely oppressive and there wasn't much desire on my part
to do much investigating.  However, I followed the new avenue a
short distance and then turned in to the right, following an apparently
good path.  With the exception of a pretty oven bird which I disturbed
from her nest nothing particularly interesting was noted.  I returned to
the new avenue and then took the path near the edge of the wood.
It took me to Old Mr.        place, near whose home we camped on
our first trip.  His daughter is now living with him.  She told me
of a large cave in the woods not far from the house.  On my way
to Owings Mills, (I went by way of Gwynnbrook), I stopped at
the swamp but found nothing of particular interest.

June 5, 1904.  To the lots near the boat-club.  Found Alfalfa
in bloom.  Another disagreeable day, very oppressive.
