Christensen 1959 175 11 Apr. Mt. Shasta, Siskiyan Co., to Berryman Hwy #89 forest - I don't see why not. This region has been so horribly cut over, burned & returned that it must not be recognizable. 545 Mt. Shasta - a clean but cluttered tacon 547.8 onto Hwy# 89 extensive monganita fields with few ponderosa, Libocedrus and Douglas fir pushing above it as a family mature tree or as seedling. The canifers are also clustered in small patches, Chiriquapin as a subdominant shrub. This entire S. shoulder of Shasta will eventually go back to a transition forest. 550 Charred stumps - max evidence of the fire. R-26 3&4 photo over brush to the west. good seedling conifer growth, esp Libocedrus. 552 snowbank and down hill thru good forest. 557 McClaud - lunch 474. 3,300' since coming over the ridge the forest conditions has improved with better caves and less brush except for few old burns. This town is very neat, and all of the building are of wood and fairly old - and well painted - in same way the place seems almost like an army camp, but more colorful. A real lumber area & town - no starchets. 12:30p.m This is a broad flat Basin of mainly ponderosa second growth of varying age and varying amounts of brush. some Libocedrus, hardly any oaks brush patches dense also seedling & poll grass implaces 100% cover.
