14th, J 1938 Journal 3.5 mi New Hobart Mills 13 17 June Sanger Creekfield Station Sierra Co. Calif. 6328ft Arrived at sanger ~3:30 pm car was almost overheat as went over Donner Pass.

It is nice to have shower/ Bathtubs and Kitchen facilities, but really no decent place to camp. As Jeff predicted there was a Song Sparrow singing near the creek opposite from Joe's home. Asked Joe about Penny Pine area where Jeff camps. He said it is not allowed, I could get a ticket but he didn't care when I camped. 17 June Penny Pines 1.5 mi S (1st right south of station) Nevada Sq. California 6300ft. 5:00 pm This is an area that was burned (44,000 acres) in 1960. Some of the pines are over 30-40 feet but just as many are my height, sage and a dry leafy shrub (cabbage like plant) cover the earth. The soil is red and dusty - very dry. 1 mi from entry of Penny Pines I pulled over at least a snark of bread, milk and cheese. heard a Song Sparrow calling infrequently from the creek 100 yds to N. Warding video calling (sounds like "if you lather... wilt not squirt ya" he is ~10' up in a pine. Another is answering about 50yds to N. Withoutdoubt probably
