rampson 183 Pinnacle N.M. Mar 4, 1931 The same party - excepting Mr. Hawkins - returned to the Pinnacles from Hollister, arriving at 8:00 A.M. This trip was taken up the main canyon of the old Pinnacle area in company with Ranger Marcott. He walked to the caves, going to the upper end of them, then return[ing] by way of the west canyon wall, to the camp ground. Forage conditions were the same as in the west canyon. Hawkins says there are: Gray Fox, Coyotes, Bob-cats, Coons, Squirrels in the area, as well as the Black-tailed deer, of which we saw five does yearling.
