Christensen, Dr. 1963 Journal 15 June Hidden Forest Canyon, 7,900 ft., Sheep Range, Clark C. Drew Up early and broke camp at about 8:30 a.m. We stopped near the mouth of the canyon ( ) and collected some samples of shrubs. One shrub looked like an oak - but no acorns. Out on the extensive alluvial fan at mouth of canyon there is an extensive forest of Yucca lucida - the was the tree farm as in California. The work is a deeply entrenched arroyo in the fan. Yucca baccata in pod stage - if individuals reproduced this year (apparently may did not) - and fairly numerous. Yucca mahavensis farth down bare of fan near Corn Spring but not abundant. Stopped by the hg at Cain Spring - Hansen nor at home; gas water tanks filled. Went to Kyle Canyon in the Spring Wks., had lunch near the end of the road & more down to Forest Service office to get a fire permit. They are just getting organized for this fire season & probably will not be ready till end of the month. Lightning set fires seem to be particularly warmpose in this area, especially in the higher, inaccessible regions. On to Las Vegas - shopped for food, did laundry, had a fine dinner. Stayed at the Apache Motel - rather rundown Hollywood modern Saw highschool paraging over down town Area. The Ranger at Kyle Canyon claimed to have a D.O.R. golden Eagle above the F.S. unit.
