Canti, Blair 1974 Journal White Mountain Research Station, Bishop, Inyo Co., California. May 31 I drove to various buildings on the station. He said he didn't want me to move into the station dormitory bought, so he had me stay at his home on Pa-Me Lane, West Bishop. June 1 Awoke at 7:00 AM, but was unable to return to Research Station until 10:00 AM this morning. There was much work to be done today, for I have to return the car to the University on Sunday (tomorrow, June 2). I first cleaned up my living quarters, for they were unused and dusty; in addition to being dusty, ran into town to shop for food and housekeeping items. I had not purchased late yesterday. Met Mr. Guse at the gate as I was leaving, and he timed the station's clock store on for me. I drove into town and did some shopping. Then explored for localities from which I might collect Blackbrush. I discovered that Line Street leads W. out of Bishop and under the firies. From about 4600' to just over 6000' there is a blackbrush belt - The brush is at first low, then average plant size increases, as does the dominance of the plant community, until by 5500' it is almost exclusively blackbrush.
