J.Brode 1934 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.
