11 mi. W, 7 mi. S Mitchell, Wheeler Co., Ore.
Elev. 4850' ft.
June 9,
Camp is located in a clearing,
surrounded by yellow pines, 75 ft. to
100 ft. in height. The ground cover
consists of grasses and other small
herbaceous plants; no shrubbery
present, but dead logs of yellow
pine scattered throughout the
region. The slope is slight - about
5° - to the N. No grazing is evident
in this immediate locality. The
surrounding forest is open, not
dense, with small grassy
meadows where the pines are
lacking. North about 100 yds.
there is a small stream (3-8 ft.
wide) which drains Westward
from the east. South about 200
yds. there is a low ridge, which
runs toward the East where
there is a more distinct higher
ridge. The main drainage
appears to be North and West.
At 5:00 A.M. there was a heavy
frost covering the vegetation,
and there were no signs of
bird life or other vertebrates.
