Sorghum 1939 Itinerary Aug. 13 Baker Cr., 11,100 ft. with scattering piñon pine of a different sp. than those of the surrounding desert. Around timber line there are more of the piñon pines than spruce, and at timber line are many prostrate junipers which are also found here and there about camp. Baker Cr. runs by camp and is about 3 ft. wide at this point. Along it are numerous small marshy meadows caused by springs and covered & mainly by a sp. of Carex. Aug. 14 Baker Cr., 11,100 ft. Yesterday morning Alcorn and I hunted S. along the main divide for about 4 mi. to a mt. at the head of what is locally called the "Big Wash." Alcorn picked up the cranium and horn cores and parts of the skeleton of a mt. sheep on the N.E. slope of this Mt. Evidence of sheep was found in several places along the divide. Feces, tracks and a few beds. None, however, was particularly fresh and some might have been made by deer
