R. Joseph Apr 24, '51 Tehachapi Mt and Kern Co., Caly' There is a ranch house about 2 miles below Twin Lakes. The hill-sides around have minity at barren, supporting only grass and a few scattered junipers. Twin Lake when full of water must be no more than a few hundred feet long and ten feet deep. They are dry now. The tributaries to the south of the small valley in which the lakes are located are covered with a thick growth of live oak. The south facing hill-sides are much more barren, having grass, [illegible] juniper, diggers pins and deciduous oak. The small valley itself has large deciduous oak (Q. lobata?) The weather was cool & cloudy when we were here. A large & Hyla regilla and two small Salamanders one occidentalis was the only beasts collected. The Hyla was at the edge of a cattle watering pond, the lizards under oak logs. There is a good dirt road going ENE from the junction about 0.5 mi. E of Twin Lakes. This road goes ENE for about 5 miles past junction where it turns over the divide and goes down into a canyon, probably ending up at Tehachapi Pass.
