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.
