ug. 14, 1960 Unnamed Creek along Squaw Ph. Ski lift, Calif. Tads here. On the rest of the way down we were both tired and thirsty, as we used all the water in my canteen on the way up, and didn't feel much like collecting. I did get a perfect & P. montana, and Tony got a rugged & pine white at 6900 ft. He also got a & saepium in the valley. He got more lepidopt erans (and better ones) than I. I got only 1 decent & avota, but 2 good fs. I have 2 good Bs of editha, and 1 good f + 1 fair pair of frits. We took 5 pictures today; one of the skating rings, 1 of the Rana and frit site at 6500 ft, [illegible] 2 of Squaw Valley, the last including the seapage where we got four Rana, and one of the mountains along (north of) the creek. Aug 14, 1960 Truchee River, Placer Co., Calif - About 4:30 PM Bruce convinced the rest of the family we should go fishing, so we went to the Truchee River. The campground north of Squaw Valley Road proved to be no good, so we stopped along Calif. 89 where Squaw Creek enters the Truchee River. I went up the creek looking for frogs or snakes, but saw nothing but a few fish which Mary and I couldn't catch. The Truchee River seems too swifter for frogs, having no quiet pools where they could get out of the current. No one caught any fish, but we must have fed quite a few, because we sure used a lot of bait. I saw one butterfly c skipper, on a daisy along the river. Aug 14, 1960 Squaw Valley, 6200ft, Placer Co., Calif - This evening Mary, Bruce, the twins, and I strolled through Squaw Meadows (the owners don't mind, we found out) to the creek. Squaw.
