2:00 I walked up to Quaking Aspen Spring
in order to take a bath. I did not go
so far as To drink any of the water, although it
looks clear enough. The stream flows North
for a total distance of ~ 75 yds. Many
Mourning Doves on the oaks and aspens around
the spring itself. The creek disappears underground
as suddenly as it appears.
May 19.
More at 5:30 AM. Sky was lightly overcast,
and the wind was blowing this morning. Temp.
41°F. At 6:50 I walked south along "Quaking
Aspen Springs road as shown below:
The area near camp
is mostly lower Montana
Forest, but Pines ponderosa
quickly loses its dominance
and south or north from camp,
one enters Montane Woodland,
dominated by Pinus Rie.
I stopped at a hill overlooking
Quaking Aspen Springs and sat for 20 min.
