10 Apr.
Yreba Area, [illegible] Siskiyan County, Calif.
The road runs along the N. side of the Klamath River.
478.5 photo of Black Mt to S.
480.5 Across a one lane wooden bridge onto
the hill on S. shore & dirt road. Stopped
& photos up Canyon. Collected Juniper
and ceanothus here, plus stuff from
an old fruit tree. Saw a large Osprey
hauering over the river - in next half hour
it had worked down to Hwy #99. The
end primaries were separate & bent up.
The area here is predominately oak -
still deciduous and fewer ponderosa
and juniper - afew Artemisia- collected
here. Turned around about 82 at
stream - heard a frog, hunted but no
luck? Short green grass everywhere.
The country to East opens up with only
rolling hills and no great amount of
tree growth.
496 back at Rainbrooks - a filthy, degenerate
hole of old building, saw & people - dogs
on streets & only one new building- tiny & a
barbershop-beauty shop!
488 back on to Hwy #99 and mine. Strong winds
from W. - high feathery clouds, hazy
Osprey seen again. Cotton woods & perhaps (?)
alder along the river.
a few riverside benches are famed- near
the upper end of valley Canyon. Fruit trees
evident. Cattle nearby on hills
93 Crossed Klamath & back to Yreba & the
Graystone Hotel $5.50 at 5:30 & dinner 1.24.
