Aug 13, 1960 Berkeley, Calif., to Squaw Valley, Calif. By some lucky miracle we got off at 10:30 AM. Our destination is Squaw Valley, where our family will spend a week vacationing. I noticed little to interest from Berkeley to Sacramento, which occupied the first part of our trip (we got to Sacramento about 12:30 PM.). About at Auburn the scenery became more interesting, as conifers began appearing in the forest and Erioginum began appearing along the road, which I hoped would be good forleps. However the general aspect of the low Sierras was one of dryness. About 12 or 13 miles below Emigrant Gap, we began running low on gas, and it was quite a squeeze to make it to Emigrant Gap. Here we got gas at a Mobile station, and I saw a Speyeria as we were leaving the station. We passed a Shell Station about a half mile further on. Along the road I saw several Strymon (saepium type) in the Erioginum, a couple of orange butterflies, and a skipper flying, but we didn't stop anywhere except at Observation Pt. at Emigrant Pass (7100 ft.). As you might guess there were almost no flowers here, but rather an abundance of small bushes and empty beer cans among the granite outcroppings. I saw a Speyeria ? hydaspe and a Scolopous , but got nothing. Tony #@!!# caught 2 Strymon saepium ♂ and a ♀ Speyeria eglais . From here we went to Truckee, where we got some groceries, and from there to Squaw Valley. On Calif 89 from Truckee I saw a couple of Speyerias.
