699 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.
