Thacker 1960 journal p.40 July29 Red Mtn. Shasta Co. to Berkeley Calif. Unfortunately we had not bothered to put up a tent last night. This morning about 4AM it began to rain. We retreated to the truck for an hour or so and by 5:45 or so it was light enough to pick up the traps. My snap trap line yielded nothing and I got only 2 gophers in my other traps. In the process I got soaked to the skin by vegetation - it had largely stopped raining. We ate breakfast and packed up and left by about 7 A.M. However we were able to check our location before we left with a Forest Service fire fighting crew who were checking on a smoke report. We continued on for about 4 miles and hit a better road south to Big Bend. From here we drove across the valley to Riddling and I looked to Berkeley by late afternoon.
