the Thoreau Log.
6 August 1860. Mt. Monadnock, N.H.

Thoreau writes in his journal:

  At 4 A.M. see local lake-like fogs in some valleys below, but there is none here . . .

  This forenoon, after a breakfast on cranberries, leaving, as usual, our luggage concealed under a large rock, with other rocks placed over the hole, we moved about a quarter of a mile along the edge of the plateau eastward and built a new camp there . . .

  At 5 P. M. we went to our first camp for our remaining baggage . . .

  Returned to enjoy the evening at the second camp . . .

(Journal, 14:16-22)
