The road leading to the camp-site was
down a steep grade into the canyon.
along the road ground squirrels of the C.
orognus type were seen.
The camp itself was within 35 feet of the
Cr. which was lined with cottonwoods.
N of the camp was a steep hill covered with
rock slides of lava. Very few bushes grew
on this hill because of the rocks. S of the camp
