Searching Hunter’s Bend:
“In the afternoon, we walked over to Blue Lake,” wrote Tanner. “The cutover country is the darndest place to get thru, tree-tops in every direction, catroads [meandering trails] winding around, every depression full of water, and where a cat-road crossed water was a boggy trough.”
"Walking through this section was a slow, laborious trek. If an ivory-bill flew over, it would be nearly impossible to follow."
