Feather 1935- Boy's Prairie, Prairie Creek State Park, 240 ft. Humboldt Co., Calif. (cont.) Oct. 7, 1935. way we found the skeleton of an old buck deer on the sand at the base of a bluff. Three head of cattle were seen as we walked down the beach. Some elk sign was seen at the base of the bluffs. Shunk tracks were common on the beach, extending sometimes almost to the water's edge. We lunched on the beach, and then went up the mouth of Squashan Creek a few hundred yards. From there we commenced climbing the ridge to the north. It was heavily covered with brush and some Sitka spruce. The brush was huckleberry, salmon berry, salad and the ever present sword fern! Climbing was very difficult, but within the distance of one half of a mile we had ascended above the heaviest growth of brush to where walking was easier. From the tops of the bluffs an almost pure stand of Sitka spruce timber with heavy undergrowth of brush obtains for from two to four hundred yards inland. This is followed by timber where redwood predominates, with undergrowth of scattered huckleberry and thick sword fern. About a half mile from the coast we saw a redwood tree with the bark stripped all around
