Lughurst 1934 Itinerary Aug 18 Cleve Cr. 8800 ft. and we saw their tracks as high as we went, 12,800 ft. Their presence probably accounted for the absence of the mt. sheep if any still exist in this area. I believe that there may yet be a few as Don Taylor reported that he had seen the tracks of about five head in the snow while hunting lions near Baker Treasury Lake last winter. Ralph Kauffman also reported seeing one near Treasury Lake last spring. Roy Alcorn picked up the cranium, lion cores, and one lion sheath of a large ram above Stella Lake. I also saw several Citellus lateralis? near Stella Lake. In the afternoon we rode back to the truck and broke camp for Cleve Cr. On the way we stopped at Baker where we picked up two Felis concolor skulls which Don Taylor gave us. They had been collected about 15-20 mi. s of Mt. Wheeler.
