July 1 (Cont.) around camp - Camp was in a small grassy area formed by seepage from a spring. In the dry canyon bottom were wild currant, Artemisia, and Chrysothamnus. These ran up on the sandy parts of slopes into the edge of the Pinons which extended up on the ridges which run generally north [illegible] from the higher parts of the snow mountain range.
Broke camp 9 A.M. Drove north down canyon with the three cars to a point 12 mi. N of camp, there turned west for 3 mi. and camped in 12 mi. S Yerington, 4600 ft., W. Walker R., Lyon Co., Nev.

Russell to a point about 6 mi. NE Camp. There saw several old muskrat signs in small ponds and irrigation canals. Along the river near camp noted tracks of Raccoon, Skunk also working of moles.
