Dafner, M.S 1974 Journal 16 September (cont) 16 mi. W. Hawthorne, 5600', Lyon's Co., Nevada cross the East Walker River at a point near the "Flying M Ranch" but we were rudely kicked off the property by the woman owner of the ranch. We drove further north along the dirt road on the west side of the river (the road leads to Yerington, Nevada), and turned E/2N on "Rafter 7" Road which lead across the river. We checked-out localities and then re-crossed the river, immediately turning North on a dirt road paralleling the bank of the river. We noted several very large nests in large trees along the river, one nest having a Red-tailed Hawk perched nearby. We walked to the locality where John had lost his suitcase during our trip in June, but we could not find it. -150's- We ate lunch and waded in the river which was too cold to really swim in. We noted evidence of where a (Racoon?) had eaten a crayfish on a small sandbar near the riverbank.
