October 3, 1935 Left Berkeley 7:11 last event On way East via "north-west." 6:30 a.m. - At Klamath Falls, Oregon: country looks different from what I expected: high hills rise rather steeply all about, save to south toward "lake" - which I can't see. Altitude at Station: 4105 feet. Hills brown-yellow grassy, with scattering very small yellow pines and (Othir?) junipers. The Town surprisingly extensive, scatter up hillsides. Brewer Blackbirds around station; also California Gulls. Later: flock of 125+ gulls on foot-ball field near a school. Earlier: Wake up somewhere near McDoel, Calif. Terrain extensively level, but with massive hills rising abruptly from the plain; junipers and sage-brush seem to predominate. As we skirted west side of town "Lake" (no water) before sunrise, large flocks of birds continually going south overhead.
