Cullbreath 1942 Jan 9. 1/2 mi S.E. Willow Creek, 600 ft, Humboldt Co, Calif This map study resulted in a change of our specimen tags and records. Between 9 and 10 PM attempts to start the subs were made with no results. The weather was clear with a dark sky and bright stars. During the day the weather started out with low morning clouds that broke up about noon. The afternoon was clear and warm. Jan 10. Departed from camp at 7:45 AM and drove through fog to Noopa. From Noopa to Witchepes Witchpees the low clouds or fog along the canyon bottom began to break up. Little if any of the area along the main road through the Indian Reservation was good for hunting. The southern portion was too heavily populated and the northern part of the reservation along the road runs through a steep narrow canyon to the Klamath River. The canyon sides from Noopa to Witchepes are covered with dominant cover of Douglas Fir, Canyon Fir and Black Oaks. In the canyon bottoms good growth is made by the Bay trees. Returning from Witchepes to Willow Creek after not locating a place to hunt, we found a ranch just south of the reservation known as the Sugar Bowl Ranch. It is 4 miles north and 1/2 mile west of Willow Creek and is 600 feet above sea level. The Ranch is on a bench about 60 feet above the Trinity River.
