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.
