1947 Person snow melting between 'Dug' Pass, Taylor Lakes still frozen. Returned to camp about 5 P.M. to find mosquitoes much more abundant than yesterday although weather was the same. Sat. June 26 No mosquitoes. Snow-drift had retreated about 1 foot in 1 day. Packed up and left for Tivolino amidst numerous mosquitoes. Tivolino, Trigra Pass (very dryings), Mono Lake, then 22 miles out the Mary Road thinking it was the Bodie Road. Flat tire on way back, so skipped Bodie and went to Snoger Canyon near Bridgeport. Picked out 25 new aluminum Shermons along stream in middle meadow, and 25 Bensons. Many Boltting ground squirrels along road west of Bridgeport. Two deer in Snoger Canyon at supper time and one porcupine in willow? shrub along stream in middle of the meadow. Man in Bridgeport say snowfall in Sierra look scanty.
