2 mi. S.E. Beegum, 1600', Tehama Co., Calif., to
White Rock Ranger Station, 4800 ft., Trinity Co., Calif.
May 28, 1946
Wildwood and is Yellow Pine - Douglas Fir,
with some Black Oak. We turned back at
Wildwood and returned as far as Harrison
Gulch Ranger Station, then proceeded south
11 miles to Lagan Meadow, where we looked
about for a few minutes, then south again to
White Rock Ranger Station, 4800 ft., Trinity Co.,
where we made camp. We passed by the
camp side and followed the road to its end,
a few miles farther on, then came back and
made camp. We are directly across the valley
from the north side of Black Rock Mountain. North
Yolla Bolly can also be seen just east of Black
Rock Mtn. The country here is predominantly
douglas fir - yellow pine, with some Incense
cedar, and scattered shrub & golden-leaf oak.
The black oaks are very small and just turning
into leaf. There is not very much cover, the
ground being dry & strewn with conifer leaves.
There are many down logs under the trees.
Directly in front of the ranger station is
a small mountain meadow. After supper
I set 25 traps along a stream adjacent to
camp. Then hunted owls from 8-9 p.m., but
heard none.
