(contd) I explored around the Tillamook state forest, but found that here there was only Doug fir with an old (last year's) crop -- and doubtless few if any crossbills. I drove thru Portland, then continued E on 26 to Mount Hood, at the turnoff to 35 North, I went N. Here at the high elevations was the same old crop of cones on the Doug fir, with a sparse to nothing new crop. lodgepole pine was not abundantly coming (small crop) and the cones were still green. I found my way east on forest roads (primitive) until I found a campsite in a cleared area of Doug fir, about 5-8 mi. ESE of Mt. Hood. July 28 At the camp area were many evening grussteaks & pine siskins, also a cassin's finch, but no crossbills, Set up a net, but took it down by 8:30 am. Weather very good, clear. Drove E to Wamic, then N on 97 to the Palles, then E on 84 to 730, then N on 395 past Pasco, Washington, then onto 21 N to Wilbur then continued N
