Itinerary
Aug. 12 Baker Cr., 8000 ft.
This camp is at the lower edge
of the fir forest, along the cr.
are many large aspen trees and
on the surrounding hills mostly
mt. mahogany with scattering fir
and juniperus occidentalis.
Aug 13 Baker Cr., 11,100 ft. White Pine Co., Nevada
Don Taylor met us with the horses
about 11:30 A.M. yesterday. We each had
one to ride and there were also two
pack animals. We packed
up immediately and left for the
head of Baker Cr. where we made
camp at an old prospector's cabin
about 2 mi. below Baker Lake. After
making camp Don Taylor took the
horses back. He is to come back
for us on the 15th or 16th. In the
afternoon Ray Alcorn and I hunted
for mountain sheep around Baker Lake
and on the mt. just N of it. We
saw no definite evidence of sheep, but
Ray picked up a jaw bone which may
be that of a lamb. However, we did
jump a small deer doe and fawn almost
at timber line. The area about
camp is timbered mainly by spruce.
