Hulbert 1949 Journal 190 Sept 11 Trinity Co, Calif. replaced by Douglas Fir. About 2 miles N we turned onto the Middle Fork Bearum Creek road and began really dropping down. Sugar Pine soon dropped out. Pegan Meadows was an inviting looking locality to pass up. Quite a well developed green grassy meadow of about 1 acre extent. Dropping on below that the forest began thinning out on the S facing slope and Digger Pines and a Chamise Chapparal began to be visible in the valley below. Rounding the end of a ridge onto a W slope we were into a Douglas Fir forest without many Pines but with Broad-leaved Maple, Madrone, Black Oak and Alder. Springs became common and several likely looking Drycstrten spring were passed sep, with small water flows and deeply moss coved rocks. Still further down we went along Baker Flat Creek, a stream with- out water but otherwise looking very much like the foothill streams flowing into the Willamette Valley of western Oregon. It was bordered by large Broad leaved Maple and Alders with Douglas Fir up slope with an under- story of Cornus nuttalli, Corylus rostrata Vacciniscus discolor and with False Solomon
