Yosemite Nat. Park, Mariposa
Co. Calif.
July 20, 1939
No moon, clear, calm at
dusk. Begun working forest
in flat country around S part
Tenaya lake for O.f. Almost
pure lodge-pole pine in dense
stands surrounding granite
areas or meadows. Not far
below subalpine forest of
mt hemlock etc. But above
typical Canadian zone Jeffrey
pine & red fir. Spent about
3 hrs - no results. Finally
arrived at an open grove of red
fir on a slope after crossing
a lot of granite country. Now
about 1/3 mi. down trail.
Red fir, W. white pine &
lodgepoles(?) around a pond. Open
forest of large trees. Exposed
slope (not a deep canyon). A or
calling when arrived. May have
started when heard my boots
further up trail.
