South along After the above stop we drove down the road E. of the Trinity River continuing on a dirt road which parallels the river past the mouth of Bremer Creek (SE. of town of Willow Creek).

Bullion, I drove here in the Chevrolet from Willow Creek to spend the night in the open pine forest we visited 2 days ago. Left Willow Creek at 3:30 and arrived on the summit at 4:10, with 1 stop of about 5 minutes enroute. The road distance is 8.8 miles, the first 5.5+ (three creeks Road) well travelled, the rest (on Branner Mtn Road) narrow & bumpy & rocky in spots. Saw 15+ Band-tailed Pigeons and 1 Coyote along the road on the way up. We set out traps - I placed 3 Schuylers & 3 rat traps for chipmunks & Wood Rats & put 10 mouse traps on the south slope just below the summit (3900+ ft.) and 20 at the 3700-3600 ft. level near where we are sleeping. Owling at dusk yielded 2 Pygmy Owls heard.
