Sept. 12-13-1933 Justice Park.
The general west slope of the
mountain can be diagramed as
follows:
crest. 8900 ft.
Solid Rock cliffs
8500 ft.
loose rock slides
8000 ft.
dry clay and coarse gravel
low sage brush.
6800 ft.
dense underbrush.
fire 6300
These slides of loose rock, many
of them large boulders, extend along
the west side of the mountain
southward for a distance of 3/4 of
a mile.
From 7 A.M. to 10 A.M. we
moved slowly over the slides but
did not see nor hear coyotes. No
definite evidence of haying activities
could be found. An occasional
few stems of grass and small
brush were found cut and dragged
into cover but what little we
saw could easily be the work
of mice. No good hay piles
were ever found.
