The alt. of the ridge is about 10,000'. The Pacific and the Gulf are both visible -- and the desert N. and S. for a tre- mendous distance. The Diablo peaks are only a bare 1/4 mi. across an abyss -- it might perhaps be climbed but the peaks are breath-taking with their sheer drops. The view is truly beyond comparison. Searched the bluffs for sheep but saw none -- with the field glasses. Saw one flock of Mt. Quail, and one spike buck at the "horse flats" where he was grazing. He also had a white rump, but bounded off up the ridge with stiff "blacktail" jumps or bounds. Quite tame -- we were within about 150 yds. I found two cast horns on top of the ridge, where the sheep sign was so abundant. Galloped back over the flat -- Melling and I rode down and drove two calves and cows into the corral for milking in the morning. Skinned specimens all evening. (Saw a black hawk about the size of a Redtail sailing over the pines, up on the ridge.) (Collected antlers around here also.) SANTA ROSA FLATS. (creek cañon-bird paradise) May 31, 1925.
