Reached St. Paul at 1:50 pm, rainy weather. Our ride [MS illegible] the Driftless Region of [Nissim?] and [MS illegible].
Our passes take us of the Great [MS illegible] as far as Helena then over the Northern Pacific and Tacoma. To avoid expense of buying local tickets for the ladies, they decided to go in the Northern Pacific all the way. We therefore saw them off alone and expect to meet them in Helena. I shall send back the ticket I bought for Edith to [MS illegible] it redeemed.
We left St. Paul at 5 pm and saw St. Anthony Falls at Minneapolis (a post glacial fall).
In 1890 & 1892, Harry Fielding Reid traveled to Glacier Bay, Alaska. During the expedition, Reid mapped Glacier Bay, collaborated with John Muir, measured the movement of the glaciers, created sketches and made photographs of the glaciers, and produced 24 notebooks. The National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) has transcribed these expedition notebooks, so you can follow along with Reid's expeditions and experience Glacier Bay as he saw it over 100 years ago!
