Banks 1959 June 30 Journal Needa speech and sometime in the night. Finished the shins I had to do and left this camp at noon. Drove to Vancouver + caught the ferry to Vancouver. On the way saw 2 Bald Eagles flying north, just south of Union Bay. On the ferry, saw Glaucous-Winged Gulls. Lost tost in Vancouver, but drove over B.C.'s, 7+1 to between Hope and Princeton, where I spent the night at a picnic site next to a campground. ///\ Up early, drove to Osoyogoos and on into Washington. There is a fairly abrupt change in vegetation type a few miles N of Princeton. Going east, one goes down a long hill, and immediately the Big Fir decreases, Pines come in, Sage is seen, and the forests thin noticeably. The Okanagan Valley is very reminiscent of Great Basin. It is a big fruit district, has a good climate. Today it was over so as I drove south. Continued to Okanagan, Wash., across at 16 to Winthrop, to Mazama, where I talked to the Ranger at great length. He is somewhat interested in birds, knows a few. He reports Starmizan and Lencostile on Hart's Pass. The road to the pass is being worked on, and now extends to the top of Slate Peak, where they are going to build a radar station. The road to the pass is not good, but I made it - along hard.
