June 30 June 30 - Joshua Tree National Monument, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, California. Was picked up in Arcadia, California, at 11a.m. by Dr. Robert Stebbins and Wade Fox in a University Car (1941 4-door Pontiac Sedan). By 5 p.m. we were at Twentynine Palms. Between Banning and T. Palms, we stopped three times because the car was boiling. At Twentynine Palms we got water, sun helmets, gas, film and information (this last item from Jim Coles, the Monument Supervisor). We then headed out toward Pinon Wells to set up camp. About 6:30 p.m. we ran over a Salvadora. WE then tried to follow the narrow winding road to the wells. The car was too heavily loaded and scraped the ground in places, preventing our continuing on in. In turning around to get back to the main road we ran over a stick and had a flat tire. Bats of two different sizes were quite numerous, flying about the Joshua trees at dusk. We continued down the road looking for Barker Dam. This locality we failed to find. It got dark and we continued on to about 1 mile by road from Quail Spring. There we made camp. After eating a quick dinner
