J. Rodgers Itinerary etc. April 2 Berkeley, Alameda Co., to Mt. Diablo Contra Costa Co. At about 11:30 am. I left Berkeley by myself in my car for a skink hunting expedition. I went to Walnut Creek where I turned left at the main street, then right just before leaving town at the north. Driving east and south. I arrived at the north entrance of the Mt. Diablo Stat Park. Approximately two miles NNE of Walnut Creek, the road passes over some low hills. In these hills there is a ridge with considerable outcropping of rocks. It might be worth investigating for skinks, so I did not stop this trip. Where the road up Mt. Diablo starts into the hills here (the so-called "north" entrance to the park) it crosses the mouth of Arroyo del Ceno, over into the next canyon and follows up along its north slope. At about 1100 ft. this road overtakes ridge out of the head of the canyon and continues on up along the north slope of Pine Canyon. About half a mile west of where the road enters Pine Canyon (north wall), at about 900 feet, there is a point labeled Buckle Point (county highway sign). Just west of
