Itinerary
April 5, Mud Creek, 800 ft., 3 1/2 mi. SW San Juan, Monterey Co., Calif.
Maniculatus. Rain continued steadily most of the morning until about 11:45 A.M.
when there was a short let up. We quickly packed up and were just taking down
the tent when Mr. Sillian arrived. He helped us lash the tent on the car and
take us to an Auto Cabin in Salinas. We have a very comfortable cabin in
the Anderson Salinas Motor Lodge for $3.50
a night. At 4:00 P.M. we went to Mrs.
Sillian's house and he gave Mrs.
Grinnell some facts on early history
of the Cooper Club. He showed us
his library full of Old, New, and
Rare books on subject of Biological
interest and Historical interest largely.
He also has original drawings by Allan
Brooks and Louis Agassiz Fuertes.
April 6,
Muddy Creek Junction with Chular Canyon Canyon, Monterey, Caly.

about 11 A.M. We had to wait until 12:00 M
before Mr. Sillian could see Mr. Gottlieb
Johnson to get permission to camp on his
property. While we were waiting I saw

We set up camp at about 1:00 P.M. After
