July 26 Dickerson Flat to Medicine Lake,iskiyou Co. Calt.
6500+;
Up at 5:45 A.M. I had two T. mayama. After
breakfast we skinned until about 9:30 AM. Off about 10:30 AM.
Drove on to Bartle, here we turned right (North) off Rt.
89 toward Medicine Lake. About a mile N of Bartle
we stopped and set out some gopher traps but failed
to catch any in an hour and a half. Continued on again,
stopping one-half a mile S of Slogger Camp to set traps
again. Dr. Benson got a T. manicula. Here there
was the bottom of a valley just beside (E) of the road.
It seems forested of firs and yellow pine, & open spaces
covered by low brush and grass. The valley floor was
slightly sloping.
We continued to Medicine Lake. Stopped for water
at the Harris Sp. Guard Station. Hike up just east of
Pumice Stone Mtn., and Paint Pot Crater. We stopped
at Pumice Clue Well, 6200+ ft., T.42N, R2E, sec 14.
Here we found many larval salamanders, tadpoles and
some Ryla regilla. We collected some. This area
is covered & v. light colored sand,- sandy and rocky
in texture consistency. It appears v. well drained.
These areas are forested by solid stands of
lodgepole pine.
After collecting the amphibians and bathing,
we continued on to Medicine Lake, camping
about the middle of the N shore. After supper
I got out 7 gopher sets.
