Jasper 1939 July 5 Brooks mead, 9 mi ENE Mt. Hood [illegible] Traveled road. We then followed the road east for 6 1/2 miles to the Brooks meadow guard station where we made camp. On route 1 mile west of the Deschutes river I saw a Mallard Duck in a small slough beside the road. West of the Dalles we drove through heavily timbered country, Yellow pine, Juniper, ponderosa, Douglas fir and cedar spruce 'sp.' were predominant along the Columbia river highway. But along the Hood river many firs were found in addition. The camp sight was on the east edge of a meadow 1/2 mile long 1/4 mile wide. A branch of the Day river ran through the meadow. The meadow was surrounded by a dense stand of timber.
