445. Bandelier Nat'l. Monument March 28, 1934. Last night I came out with Custodian Evansstead from Santa Fe. He drove in over the new highway which is being built down into Frijoles Canyon. Evansstead wants to fence the south and east sides of the monument to exclude trespass stock. He reports that turkeys have been commonly seen along the approach road near the north rim of the canyon, but have not been seen down in Frijoles this winter. The winter is so mild that there has been no necessity for their seeking lower terrain. This morning, Evansstead, Lyle Bennett & I hiked into the north section of the monument, as far as Alamo canyon, -- up Alamo about 3 miles, across toward Frijoles, striking the trail near the top of Frijoles. This is an old Forest Service trail. An open, picturesque Ponderosa pine forest covered the top of the mesa with a mixed understory of pinion, juniper (repulorum, Utahensis & possibly occidentalis), Cornaria, Quercus of various species, Cercocarpus abundantly, cacti of cholla & prickly pear varieties, Amelanchier & willows along streams,
