General Account
special emphasis being given

Aug. 10 2 mi NW Kennedy Meadow South Fork Kern River,
Tulare Co., Calif.
Left home this morning about 8:00
o'clock. Purchased a few supplies
in Porterville. Oh! I almost forget

with m. From Portville we started
in a general south east direction,
caving eastward over the Green Horn,
and Walker Pass, then north to Linnie
and north west into Kennedy meadow.

a gas station on th highway to
our camp at th end of th road.

mountain arid. The mountains
about has an unimpressive in

perceptive peaks above th
upper Kern River. The mountains
appear from a short distance
to piles of granite
boulders between which are
growing Pinyon Pines and
a few Junipers. The
mountains are well wooded
with the Pine and Juniper
