General Account
we have had th other
previous days being bright
and sunny! Th rain lasted
till about 5:00 PM at which
tim we crossed th river
by th old bridge, and
began hunting for Chipmunks
in among the Manzanita. We
continued on up th trail
toward th Tunnel Forge
Station to th columnar
basaltic formation on th
left. This basalt post,
similar to that of the
Devil's Post Pill, an quit
extensive extending from
th trail for 500 yd around
a bluff at Golden Trout
Creek. On some of these
columns are grotesques
appearing Indian paintings.
I continued my search
for th ground dwelling
chipmunks without results
(Entemion merioni breweri.)
Observed a pair of Desert
Sparrows in the manzanita
and hiding upon the rocky
shy. Saw a f Sgron with
a brood of young 4t+.
