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.
