Jornal 207 Big Creek Reserve, San Lucia, Monterey Co., California, 400 ft. elev. 9 April Arrived last night at 11pm left Berkeley after setting up a fungipetri plot at 730 pm. Slept in late this morning 830 hrs. Met Fegner at the lab. He said he had left a tractor up at the highlands camp so I offered to drive him up there. We spent the morning driving the roads that goes from the highlands camp. Canoga Trail is here is found right at the boundary with the Packard property it goes up 2 down slope then the chaparral and then rises again, Fegner says it goes to a large waterfall. The weather station is on the road that heads N just 30yds from trailhead for Canoga. If you take the road beyond the reserve onto the Packard property you go thru a thick grove of Redwoods - there is a strong spring at a bulldozed area for refuets in the 1960's. Beyond that you come to a clearing with an old well which is called Franchman cabin. Fegner said an old Portuguese man used to live up there. Lots of flies & heat in the summer. Down the road to the weather station if you continue you deal out with site of new research cabin. Fegner says it will be an open screened-in cabin for summer archeological workers. Lots of pig wallows. left Fegner at highlands camp at 1330 after a lunch of quesadillas at his place. Traveled along the W road to Packard prop. Heard a few sparrows but nothing serious yet, seems very dry!
