1959 26 Nov, Mother Lode Trip N4 aged groups of live oaks. 986 photo stop #13-16 14-17 999 photo #17 - between these stops are the first table nuts on masses of lava. 990 = onto (illegible) 18 49-108. Again woodland, parkland and occasional patches of brush. Left undisturbed this would be oak woodland with few P. saliniana on exposed sites and Pandorasa on N. coal slopes. 995.2 Woods Cr. a dense upland area of woodland & P. saliniana. Jamestown, checked a cemetery just off the road (E) - fairly late, & not well kept. 998 Pandorasa in goodly numbers in a valley - but severe mixing of every element of veg - even afew sugar pines). Some areas of very open second growth pandorasa pine with brush - this time mainly manzanita as understory. On into Sonora - drove about & on up 120 to Twin Pny where I found a fine motel - El Dorado -$6.50. diner $39. The air is cool - natives calm & claim no grass as yet. This is good second growth transition forests - but from afew miles down the hill to Sonora the area is a mosaic of live-oaks P. saliniana, brush; open Q. kelloggii - grassy areas & spots of pine.
