Investigated a place Dr. Miller men- tioned as being a possible trap-line sight site. This lies at the head of a stream about 1/4 mi. North and 1 mile West of camp, in the range of hills NW of our locality. At the head of the stream is a rather heavy woods of Digger Pine, Blue Oak, and Black Oak. The stream originates from an extensive area of seepage and springs, overgrown with sedges, and studded with rocks. Below the seepage area the creek takes definite form, and follows a narrow, rather steep, + very rocky course, running east until it crosses the road to Bergum. The creek banks are grown to Blue Oak and Manganita, with a heavy undercover, consisting mostly of Poison Oak, with scattered Salvia. Behind the rather rocky banks of the creek, on either side, are extensive areas of Adenostoma. Heard numerous Mountain Quail on the hillside.
