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.
