Anderson 1956 Journal Mar 28 Berkeley to Pinnacle Nat'l Monument, San Benito Co, Calif. Left Berkeley at 8:15 A.M. after leaving Gill at U.C. (Speedometer 21705.0). Drove to Rt 17 in Oakland + took it to junction with US101 near San Jose. Cut off 100 towards Hollister using Rt 25. (10:05 A.M.). Crossed San Benito Grant line at speedometer reading 21792. 3 miles later saw a white-tailed kite hovering over an growrown artichoke field. Flew back + found one on area 150-200 yds long by 50 yards wide. Flying high overhead was a red-tail hawk. Stopped + made lunch about 1 mile N of the Pinnacle turnoff at 11:20 A.M. I had made one previous stop to turn logs along San Benito River with no luck. After lunch drove up to Pinnacle turnoff + proceeded towards the monument stopping every few hundred yards to collect. Got 1 H ypsiglossa to quality, saw several Scleropora occidentalis + 1 Uta stansburiana. Drove on into monument to look over campsites. Almost all sites taken. 12:30 P.M drove back out of monument. Collected 2 Gunnella on way. Drove south towards Coolidge + King's City outside monument. Good wind through rolling hills country. All hawed in tightly. Most area near road are heavily grazed but county which is not grazed by Digger Pine - interior line both open parkland. Some hillside (particularly S-facing slope) have sage + lupine mixed in with Artemisia + what appears to be a Ceratonia. Went as far south as Monterey Co. line + then back just south (100 yds) of monument turnoff.
