showing plainly in the soft wood. The tops of
the logs were not deeply worn, but nevertheless
showed evidence of the action of a great number
of hoofs on their tops and sides. The initial
lift to the top of the lower log was 3 ft., the
upper log being about a foot higher. The
following diagram may give an idea of
the situation of the logs.
I secured two frogs on the trail in the redwoods.
We continued east on the "Indian Trail"
for a distance of approximately two miles.
During the latter part of the walk we ascend
to an elevation of about 500 ft.
No elk nor fresh "sign" was seen on this
walk.
Some birds identified were: Several ravens,
three juncos, 2 song sparrows, several goldfinches
and one hermit thrush.
The territory covered in this walk was look-
ing in most of the food plants we have
identified as elk food. Huckleberry bushes
were there, but bore no berries. There was
little or no salal and few salmon berry
bushes.
We returned to camp about 6:00 P.M.
