700 Coyote Peak, at 3000 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. June 11, 1933 Awoke to a beautiful clear day. Last night a ford roadster drove by camp, turned & drove back again. Sheep man Today said They were probably people out jack lighting deer. Ran trap line - poor catch. Two besease Eutamias caught. There are much more active since the rain, as are also the squirrels. For the second time I was able to see all the vista available country ever visible from any one locality. To the west, one range separates us from the sea; last slopes seem to be more heavily wooded than west slopes. Also of a different type of timber. Pine Doug. Spruce & Tanoak Oak on east & north slopes - Pine Garry Oak & bare ground on west & north slopes. To the east one sees a jumbled mass of heavily jointed hills, with a reddish gash that represents the gorge of the Klamath River, and sunny peaks about 50 miles away which are the Salmon-Trinity Alps. Skinned all morning & part of the afternoon. Sugar pats & 2 Townsend
