Cogswell 1949 Journal 124 Sep. 11 Red Mtn. 5300 ft. 14 mi. S Hayfork, Trinity Co. Calif., to Beegum, ft. western Tehama Co. and thence ESE to Red Bluff, Highway US-99 W & Winters cut-off to Berkeley. We left camp at 8:15 a.m. & drove, without stopping, along the Red Mtn. Ridge Road to the point marked "Brushy Mtn." on the U.S.G.S. topo map (Hoaglin, 1932 quad). Here we turned N onto a N-S trending ridge for a short distance & then down slope to the east, following the road past Beegan Meadow, n. Fork of Beegum Creek, Harrison Valley Ranger Station, and Glatura and Beegum. All of this portion of the trip is written the transect being studied by MVZ personnel, so perhaps a few notes on the area tris- versed and its major vegetation types are in order. 1st. The Red Mtn. ridge is all pretty uniformly open pine forest with occasional shrub areas on the "balds" and with Douglas fir as a component of some of the lower slope forests. 2- at "Brushy Mtn." the first bush chinquapin (Castanopsis sempervirens) was noted along the road. General vegetation still much the same as 1, however.
