J.G. Hall 1954 June 28 Sagehen Creek, 3 mi. NW Hobart Mills, Nevada Co., Calif. L.Colony 1:30 PM. Went to check L. Colony. Roadside has now extended down to bend in stream where it was last fall, not appreciably farther but there has been considerably more cutting since then & since May visit. Still a considerable gap between lowermost part of this colony and uppermost part of lower colony. Went downstream on S side, crossed below main dam & came back up the N side. Occasionally saw both here & at L. Colony "bear" sign where some big animal had torn out large strips of wood from dead, fallen logs. Maybe looking for grubs. The shack colony is flourishing. Lodge bigger than ever, 4' above water's surface & 10' in diam & overflowing log against which it was built. Water higher than previously. There are two areas of intensive cutting, both in "old" section: one rather high up the roley & already cut over slope uphill from S end of main dam & in general vicinity of our last Septs. camp. One tree cut over 60 measured ydo from water. They are going right by the profuse sprouts to get at 192
