Itinerary
Aug. 15 Baker Cr. 11,100 ft.
Baker Peak
Peak is 12,600 ft high. Lower
down on the ridge Alcorn
picked up the skull of a ? Mt sheep
along with the horn sheath of a ?.
He also jumped two domestic
sheep along this ridge, a ewe and
lamb. They had probably become
separated from a herd being ranged
here earlier in the spring.
Much of the sign which we
have supposed to be that of
Mt sheep may have been made
by these domestic sheep. A good
many cattle are ranged in this
part of the national forest. There
is much evidence of their
presence about camp, but now
most of them seem to be lower
down the mt.
Entanias quadrivittata
are
fairly abundant at this elevation
and gopher workings were observed
well above timber line. Porcupines
are also about as their gnawings
are to be seen on the bark of some
trees. Alcorn picked up the skull
of one near Treasury Lake.
