Thacker 1960 Journal p.37 July 27 Medicine Lake to Mt. Thetha State Fish Hatchery, Arbyoga Up about 6:30 checked gopher traps and had one T. marticola. Here as before in the sandy light said, the trees are solid stands of lodgepole pine. After breakfast and shinning we left for Tennant. Stopped at the fire lookout on Little Mt. Hoffman. Unfortuna ely the day was quite hazy and our view generally quite restricted. Over road went N for several miles from a point near Furnice Lake Sp., then turned W and finally S into Tennant. On better roads the forest was composed of Red and White Firs and yellow pines, especially at lower elevations. On the lower flats the area was generally rocky & sage, brush and scattered yellow pines. In Tennant we drove S for about 7 miles to a locality for T. marticola, then went to the probable place in a forest of fir & scattered yellow pine. Returned to Tennant and continued W over Butte Creek. were a T. mayama locality. Here the creek was in pasture land & scattered yellow pines. The adjacent flats along the stream were sage covered. Continued out to U.S. 97 and SW toward Weid. Stopped to catch gophers at Grass Lake. The valley here is flat, grass covered, and surrounded by slopes covered with yellow pine, sage and grass. Apparently at some seasons the central part of the valley is flood because the soil is clayey, hard and now dry and cracked. Around the edges seems to be the only place for gophers. We got out some traps - 1
