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.
