Longhurst 1939 Itinerary July 9 Hood River, Hood River Co., Oregon Bedrolls in the sedan along with some traps and food. We intend to cross the toll bridge to the Wash. side of the R. and make camp somewhere above "White Salmon" in the vicinity of Mt. Adams. July 10 Ice Caves, in Skamania Co., Wash. yesterday we crossed into Wash., drove to "Trout Lake", and inquired at the Mt. Adams ranger station about a camp site. Nearby at "Guler" we eat dinner and then drove W. to the Ice Caves to camp. I set out 50 mouse traps and caught: Peromyscus maniculatus 7 o 3 ? Eutamias townsendii 1 o The country about here is typical upper transition. Douglas fir and yellow pine predominate over a lower growth of vine maple, alder, and scattering willows. There are occasional Lawson cypress but they are not as numerous as on the Ore. side. All the animals were caught last night on the forest floor among fallen logs and underbrush. Johnson and Hooper have gone back
