Longhurst 1934 Itinerary Aug. 18 Cleve Cr., 8800 ft. were being officially reported. He also suggested that we contact Alec Kolchek at Cleve Cr. for definite information about the sheep. The evening of the 16th we went down to Baker for supplies and mail while Taylor took three of the horses up Selman Cr. about a mile above Selman Caves. After returning from Baker we met him there and made camp for the night at the public camp ground. In the morning of the 17th Alcorn, Taylor, and I rode to the head of Selman Cr. above Stella Lake and hunted for sheep on the N.W. slope of Mt. Wheeler and on the Mt. to the N., locally called "Baldy." We saw no definite evidence of the mt. sheep except some old beds between 11,500 and 12,500 ft. on the N.W. Slope of Mt. Wheeler. The whole area had been heavily ranged over by domestic sheep and we saw two bands nearby. They had ranged high above timber line
