July 11 Took up gopher traps this morning -
nothing in the traps - The five live
traps have not yielded any result tho
have had them out around Camp for
several nights.
Left Bridge Camp before noon and left for
Mt Grant via Shung - The country
was barren and rocky as the road
followed the west shore of the lake but
many of the cliffs contained caves and
large crevices - no animal life was noted
but a number of aquatic birds were
observed on the lake. The road up
Cottonwood Canyon was about 10%o
grade with willows and cotton woods
along the little creek that runs down
the canyon - about a mile after turning
off the main road and into the canyon
we encountered the pinions which extended
from about 5500 to about 7500 ft. A Camp
of C.C.E workers are widening and improving
the road - Above the pinyons sage brush
Antemaria and patches of mountain
mahogany occur - the country is not
precipitous but many rocky outcrops and
points occur - We camped at
Lapan Canyon 8900 ft. Mt. Grant, Mineral
Co., Nev.
