1959 estuar 201 Sept. Boonville, mendocino co., calif. Board-post fences are far & few between. There was one on the right side of the road (101) S. of Petaluma - near an inlet near a hill - here the "wami" or Virginia fences are either stocked at the angles with no re enforcing what so ever - about 3 feet high & not, apparently, used for live stock - or another variation which consists of a straight fence with the loops stagered vertically on themselves between 2 parts. The latter are rare - saw part of one (particularly replaced) out 5 side of road a mile or 2 W. of Boonville. No rocks seen about here - as fences. Sept. Alice, Jim & I went for a drive from noon to about 10 p. m. We drove down the Anderson Valley to Navarro. Most of the country was a complex mosaic of grass - oaks and conifers. we went down a canyon along the Navarro River an stopped in a road side Redwood grave - collected a Rana Boylei in the stream & some swordferns & redwood sprants. Continued thru a recouced Conifer forest - with large burnt and redwood stumps. Stopped for a hamburgs at an inn at the mouth of the River. Found some Enogrom in a cliff. From here north there is a band of grass next to the sea cliffs and then Cypressses - then redwoods
