July 12 continues
phy lay before us much as an air-
view map showing the country we had
been over and soon would go over.
One is impressed by the bare peaks,
then a "zone" of pino pine, then
a zone of Artemesia blending into the
Pinon; and below that the desert.
All this cut occasionally by canyon
or streams bordered by aspens in
the higher parts and by Cottonwoods
in the lowlands.
With in 200 ft elevation of the top
we found workings of gophers and
signs of over grazing. Dr. Hall saw
a chip mark on one of the rocks on
top. Many insects are on the
top meadows — We went down
the mountain to Cat Creek
meadow rechecked our gopher traps
taking out two gophers. Proceeded
to camp and put up animals.
In the evening I set out traps
on the hill at the head waters of
Cat Creek and Cottonwood creek near
the site at which we had gopher traps
Hall took in several gophers from these
traps. Set out 5 sets of gopher traps
near camp in Sapon Canol.
