K2014 1963 Journal July 8 most of distance after leaving valley. About 24 miles along road - after passing thru Lady Bug Saddle - there is a road going to Shannon campground + another to (te)liograph lookout. Very good view from firetower. Observer here says he can see Douglas, Arizona on clear days + saw fire in Santa Catalina - 105 miles away. Graham Mts. rise up abruptly and have broad valleys on either east + west sides. Area where camping tonight is mostly fir forest with some spruce (Picea pungens), Acer glabrum, Populus tremuloides. They appear to be logging out some bigger trees. Open areas have nice grass layers. Campground has running water even now at the end of dry season. This is first park we have hit to have running water. July 9 Graham Mts. to Tucson, Arizona. Up at 0530. Collected around Shannon Forest Camp until 0830. Troglodytes are common in groups of 5+ especially in brush piles left by recent logging operations. I guess these groups are family groups. Spacing was 25-50 yards in areas of heavy logging. Several pairs of Hairy Woodpeckers (or paint young) in Douglas Firs.. Mexican Juncos had almost fully grown young foraging with adults.
