Monday June 13. To Davenport Ranch We made an early start and followed the road westward towards the Wood Mt Post. Several miles interven between the wooded Darwin born of Knolls and the larger patches of Wood Mt Proper we reached the post shortly before eleven and reported to Corporal King. He gave me a pass out of the country of King Gings and a substantial lunch as he said we should pass no ranches on our way back. Near the Post are quite extensive patches of Poplar with the usual undergrowth, but within 15 minutes we had ascended to the summit of the plateau and lost sight of the timber by sundown near the head of a creek below the summit. Head west for about 10 miles over a fairly level elevated country and then began to descend in a S.E. direction to strike the road we had followed. We reached This about Hoelch and after falling it about 5 mile - 6 miles I reached the stale line, which horizon is unmarked as far as I could see. A current shaped lake about 4½ by a mile long lies here east and west. There a few mallards near Treedry, as well as melets, Khalarohe etc. During the day I collected a number of plants from the Plateau. Corporal King tells me that a few whitetail deer occur about Wood Mountain and that toward the west are a few black tails, and some antelope. I saw several burn skulls but no good ones. Heard toads Bufo leutigmosus woodhousei sing in the creek
