June 11, 1931 North Side Trip
Dixon reported a parasitic growth on the Cliff Rose east & north of Jacob's Lake. He missed this trip.
In the afternoon we drove to the north foot of the hill turned left at the gas station & drove to Ryan. Several miles of the way are out of the present Rainbow Forest, but in the National Game Preserve which used to coincide with the Forest Boundary, as set aside in Pres. Roosevelt but owing to a readjustment of the Forest Boundary, these strips of Game Preserve extend north of the Rainbow Forest. No one had jurisdiction over the game preserve outside of the forest and sheep winter there to the extent of 43000 according to Mann. The same "high water" grazing line is present here as on the older winter range.
The growth is: sage brush, juniper, cliffrose & some pition.
From now the Preserve to Ryan, the vegetative cover is the same. And from Ryan to VT, no covered in June 19th notes.
