Itinerary
Longmont
1939
June 29
Crooked R. at Bear Cr.
above Ft. Klomath, after passing
Bend, the lodge-pole pines
became more interspersed with
western junipers and finally
gave way to them altogether
at lowered elevations, and only
on the higher hills and ridges
sparse stands of lodge-pole pines
and a few yellow pines occurred.
About the camp, which was
pitched on the S side of the R.
The country consisted of lava
rim-rocks bordering the canyon and about 1/2 mi. wide at this point. The sides of the
canyon were not steep, however, as
talus broken from the rim-rocks
had piled along the sides forming
forming slopes almost to the
banks of the R. in most places.
Flora: Sagebrush; scattering junipers
in some places forming quite dense
groves; a few willows along the R.;
brunch grass. Soil: fine Sandy.
50 traps were set along the
lower slopes among the junipers, sagebrush,
and rocks. Traps were set from 5-20 ft. apart.
