5mi. N Summit L., 5900 ft, Humboldt Co., Nev.
July 23 (cnt) occasional "Callo" were seen beside
the road at many points along the
way.
At this wrong directions were
the cause of our turning N out of
our way to Quinn Point Crossing.
When we reached a point 5 mi. N
Summit Lake, 5900 ft., Humboldt Co., Nev.
we made camp by the side of the road.
Soon after setting out 20 traps it
commenced to rain. At 5:00 A.M.
the sky was clear + bright. The sun
had already arisen. From the
traps were taken 1 Eutamius
minimus, 1 Lagurus curtatus &
5 Peromyscus maniculatus.
Two "boons" were shot by W.C. Russell
at this place. Camp was struck
about 7:00 A.M. & we continued N to
Denis, Oregon via Alder Cr. etc. The
country along this stretch of road
varied from low hilly land covered
will rock + low bushes to flat
desert land consisting of gravelly
soil + low Larobatus bushes.
The surrounding hills were rocky
& of volcanic origin, many faults &
