Johnson, R.E 1966 Journal Nine Pipe Refuge to Spar Lake (cont.) June 15 again we were greeted warmly and given further aid. In fact we now had enough "advice" to keep us going for a couple of summers. It remained for us to match our fanciful dreams & mental pictures with the hard facts of the real world. We were primarily hunting for coastal rain forest and had been directed to Ross Creek Grove of Western Red Cedar. On arrival, however, we found that the picnic area there did not have adequate space for our large museum tents and so we attempted to back-track a bit & drive over to Spar Lake. Many hours & miles later, having take all the wrong roads that existed in the area, we finally reached Spar Lake. By this time our trip had reached the stage of a "comedy of errors" and I, for one, was a bit surprised to find that we were indeed not lost afterall. Even so, our spirits were higher than ever and we assembled camp and prepared for the collecting to be done the following day. Our camp is in a Forest Service campground on the west shore of Spar Lake in tall timber (100+ ft.) and therefore shaded throughout most of the day. Campground facilities include tables, pit toilets, piped water, garbage cans, and fire places.
