Carl, Blair 1976 Journal Lone Pine Station, Inyo Co, California April 29 Left Oskland at 8:00 a.m., driving to the Owens Valley via Rt. 120. The Tioga Pass was open on April 10 this year - and there's not much snow at that ell. (4,900 ft). The high lakes, however, were still nearly completely iced over. Travel was, slow, however, and I arrived in Bishop at 2:30, some 286 miles away. I dropped off 52 animal cages at White Mountain Research Station, then proceeded to Lone Pine, to follow H.C. Shelton's 1917 trip at the type locality of Peridipus (sic) minge... Arrived about 3:00 and surveyed the area. There is now a BLM "Recreation Area" parking lot at the foot of the Alabama Hills just west of the L.A. aqueduct. A dirt road leads North along the base of the hills. There is an Inyo Co. Campground south of the rd. along the aqueduct where I spent the night. I drove to Lone Pine Station, about 1 mi. E and 1/2 mi. N. of Lone Pine. Here, Shelton's site # H still stands, on unfertilized plot 14 x 1/2 mi. of low sand dunes with mainly Atmplex and Seneciothus, some Ephedra here. I set 40 line traps and 49 museum specials before. (see map). I drove 1.3 miles farther East and came to an extensive flat of atmplex, at this point with mostly sand in quite low "dunes".
