Revelade to Susanville, Lassen Co., Calif.
2/10
Aug. 27
I had been told by Dr. Lindale that it
was important to collect between Termo
and the Bogard Ranger Station. Maps
were mostly useless for the wagon trails
in this country. I inquired the way
from the service station man who
tried to explain the way. Somehow I
get off the right road and instead of
going around the north end of Eagle
Lake I came down to Horse Lake which
is dry. Drove out over the old lake
margins until I located a flock of
larks. I followed these around two
hours picking off five birds all of
which proved to be G & G. Finally
went on to what was once Merrill-
ville, then over the hill where a
Quarantine Station was located thence
to Susanville. We had met up with
a county-run Quarantine station near
the California line in Modoc County.
The man there said the farmers were
fighting the State Fish & Game people for
possession of the Dry Cow Head Lake bottoms
it was excellent farm land. The upper,
middle & lower lakes of Modoc Co. are dry
as dry can be.
