Palmer 1935 Itinerary 7mi. ENE Smith River, 1800 ft., D & Mate Co. Calif. July 17 Left our overnight camp on Rowdy Creek in the morning and drove E to Low Divide which is an abandoned mining town. Then drove N along a ridge past Stone Corral, Winer Spring and Hole in the Ground to a place where we camped as above (about ½ mi. beyond Hole in the Ground). Camp is on a ridge beside the road. This ridge is the divide between Rowdy Creek on the W and the West Fork of Smith River on the E. Around camp, running down both sides of the ridge, is a fairly dense forest of Douglas Fir, all rather large trees. Beneath the trees is a dense brushy undergrowth made up of tan oak, azalea and Rhododendron. Under this is a thick cover of salal (Gaultheria shallon) and bunch grass (?). Further back along the ridge, the trees thin out and finally disappear and the ridge is covered by brush, very dense, and 4 to 10 ft. high. This is largely small Tan Oak, manzanita, Quercus dumosa, Holodiscus discolor (?) and Knob-cone Pine. In the evening, set 35 gun-size mouse traps in a line running down the hillside to the E in the Douglas Fir. Traps were largely set in thick salal and bunch grass under Tan Oak, Azalea, Rhododendron and Manzanita.
