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.
