General Account
y 29 Chocopa Furnston Meadow, Kern Canyon.
Kulars Co., California
Had no luck with my traps
last night, caughf Only
thus Peromyscus maniculatus
in my traps set in th
meadow.
After breakfast (8:00 A.M.)
Mr. Dixon and I started our
hike up the Morain Lake
trail. This trail starts just
out of camp and follows up
with numerous switch- backs
along Furnston Creek to Sky Parlor
Meadow. (9200 ft elvn) A little
above the meadow we turned
to the north to Chocopa Creek
and followed it down nearly
to the mouth when it
pitched off into the falls. Here
we turned south and hit the
trail back to camp. Reached
camp at 4:00 P.M. The ascent
up to the meadow is an abrupt
one at first and finally tapers
off near the top. The meadow
itself is quite large in
extent and surprisingly flat
