Sept.
Left Boonville at 8:45 p.m., Mendocino Co., Cal.
in a general direction which continued
3/4 of the way to Cloverdale. The country
remains open woodland to the NE and
coniferous forests to the SW. This may be
a function of exposure but I don't
think all of it is - there are old remnant
canifers to the N.E.. This area needs a
closer examination. A few light
sprinkles between Cloverdale & Healds-
hurg. On to Santa Rosa & off onto Hwy # 12
Beyond Kenwood (58926.2) blackfaced
sheep and a stone fence. Sugar loaf
ridge behind - the hills are oak & chaparral
with some spots of canifers - even on
flats as near the Salvation winery.
Area of turkeys. a mile more & turn off
to the W. to Glen Ellen - a small
almost characterless town of oaks &
some bush. On down Arnold Drive. to
Sanoma. The area is d residences, old
olive groves, ancient Cypresses & rolling
oak hills with some grasses. The surge
of urbanization has almost joined -
its fairly open from the Calistoga turnoff to
Glen Ellen. At Sanoma I visited the
Vallejo home (State Historical Monument) -
collected seeds from a honey locust near the
front porch - took many photos. Noon
continued on 12-37 toward Napa.

One stone fence on 12-37 - some board
fences - mainly grassy hills. The only
places where Baccharis grows is
on the out side of the fences -
