Coyste Peak, at 3000 ft., Humboldt Co., Caly.
June 10, 1933
Drizzly nights; fog & mist abated somewhat
in morning and the sun got thru a couple of
times. Good catch in trap line last nite but
all mammals were taken in new line set
in drier timber.
Skinned the mammal catch of Snnnell,
Beble & Silume. This took all morning &
most of the afternoon. Set a few more traps
in lake afternoon.
By 4:00 P.M. the skies had cleared
and fine unadulterated sunshine
was all around. It was the first we
had seen in nearly 72 hours and
the country & scenery literally opened
up before our eyes where all had been
invisible before.
Our camp is situated at edge of the
timber on crest of main south fork ridge.
North, east & south the timber stretches
in almost unbroken areas forests.
To the west is a down hill slope to
Redwood Creek & most of the terrain
is bars, grassy & with scattered
clumps of Garry Oak.
