Longhurst 1939 Itinerary Aug 11 Baker Cr., 6600 ft., White Pine Co., Nevada This locality is in the Pinyon and Juniper belt on the E. slope of Mt. Wheeler. This morning I collected Citellus grommurus 3 & 2 ot among some large granite boulders on the side of the canyon. They appear to be numerous about here. One was seen climbing a Pinyon pine after pine cones. I also collected 3 Sceloporus. Aug 12 Baker Cr., 8000 ft., White Pine Co., Nevada Yesterday we went back to Baker and contacted Ralph Kauffman. Through him we secured horses from a man named Kindgesser and arranged with another man, Don Taylor to bring the horses up to the end of the road on Baker Cr. Then last evening we drove up Baker Cr. as far as we could with the truck and made camp. Kauffman had also come up earlier in the day to fish so we met him and he had dinner with me. Taylor is supposed to meet us here with the horses this morning and pack us up to Baker Lake at the head of Baker Cr.
