Coyote Mt., at 3000 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif.
June 8, 1933
Woke up to a damp dripping wood day.
Everything was wet; had to walk a
couple hundred yds. to water down the
steep campy on whose west side we
camped. After breakfast we scouted
the Hooker Ranch (now Stover) road
until we came to end of byon property.
Road followed crest of ridge toward
Aural Mt., but due to dense fog we
did not see the country about.
Returned + camped at site of last
night's camp ground. Poor place for

most all day leveling ground, rigging
shelter, & cutting wood. Rain &
drizzle all the time
Set about 30 traps in late afternoon
in the wet dripping woods & misty
drizzly fields.

garnered in poor catch &
Spent all morning in camp with
