May 21, 1904.   A trip along the Patapsco from Hollofield to
the ravine; then home through the ravine.  The day was all
that could be desired, neither to hot nor too cold.  It was 8.30
A.M. when I left home.  To-day, I took the Ellicott City car
and rode to the Rolling R'd, from which I walked to the Pump-House
at Union Dam.  I now walked along the river bank to H.
where I crossed the river.  When I reached the "Shades of Death", 
instead of climbing the hillside as on a former occasion, I walked
as close up to the rock as possible, <s>where</s> near which I found a nice path.
This path lead across the precipitous region and was far better
to walk on then making one's way through the undergrowth.
A great many trees have been cut down near the feldspar
quarry.  This region and the whole path through the Papaws is
now no longer worth visiting.  From H. I walked along the rail-road
tracks to E. C.  Here I crossed the river and went along the
east bank to the ravine.  It was 6 o'clock when I reached it
I went through the ravine slowly, so that by the time I reached
the terminus it was nearly 8 o'clock.
