Mad R. ford, 2700 fr., above Ruth, Trinity Co., Calif. May 24, 1933. To the south east loomed Yolla Bolly Mt. ? - covered with snow or firn. There due south was a lower ridge sparsely covered with snow. To the West there was practically no snow covered peaks (save perhaps Thule Ridge & Signal Mt.) In Junco? seen on summit. Thin snow - part of ascent were seen Robins, Junco. Tirs (Red?) appeared at 4800 fr.; here, however, they were scarce, but appeared more commonly at snowline, 5700 fr. & especially on northeast dippe of ridge. Here the snow lay in banks 10' or so in depth and covered almost completely the Manganita and Snow bush. The descent, in general direction of Cedar Camp was abrupt. Wood Beewees were seen at edge of Timber in Oaks. Ground Squirrels were seen at snowline and this sawmows were common.
