91 12th. After breakfast started for the Guadalupe valley; we come upon a pretty fresh indian trail & one of their camping grounds. Our hunters thought from the horse marks on the trail & other indications that there had been about twenty of them & had been gone about five days in a northern direction. Camped on a small stream, running into the Guadalupe. Wild catch about this vicinity. Went Bee hunting; found some in the hollow of a Cypress tree. The Valley of the Guadalupe is broad here, having many mark? tributaries & the lands well timbered principally with Cypress. Bear and Buffalo tracks seen, formerly large herds of the latter animal inhabited these spots; they appear to have migrated more northerly. We are a bit too soon for Bear, for as yet Bruin is luxuriating and fattening upon acorns in the thick timbers & brush of the river bottoms. In the evening went out & a fine black bear was our prize. 13. Journed to the picturesque Guadalupe river; fordable in parts only.
