Shot a Cnemidophorus on the sand among Arte- sesia tridentata , approx. 1 mi. E of Oreana. From Oreana moved south to Lovelock where had spring fixed, & secured gas, water, groceries & mail, & lunch. Left Lovelock at about 1 P.M. drove thru Wadsworth, Sparks to Reno, south along highway toward Carson City to first road to right which lead to Mt. Rose. Are now camped about 3 mi. S of the summit of this peak. Zone here mostly Canadian. Recognize Pinus contorta , Picea engelmanni, Abies concolor, abies magnifica, Pinus monticola and aspen, and manzanita.
