R E-Johnson 1967 Journal July 14 Enterprise, Wallowa Co, Oregon Fancy. Nearby is a lodge, store, rental cabins, pack station, roller rink, and go-cart concession. The area is pretty (forested with big timber) but cheaply commercialized. Too much coney island variety entertainment. The state park has evening campfire talks 3 nights a week. I drove back to Two Pan arriving sometime after 10pm. July 15 Two Pan, Wallowa Co. to Eagle Cap Pk, Union Co., Oregon Beautiful clear, warm day. I got a late start, getting up at 8AM, then eating & packing & finally hitting the trail at 10:15 AM. There were a number of people on the trail before & probably after me. Along the lower mile of trail the following species were noted: Dipper, Winter Wren, Red-shafted Flicker, Varied Thrush, Hermit Thrush, Audubon Warbler, Townsend Warbler, Ruby-crowned Kinglet. Further along (2.5 to 3 miles) at Lost Lake Spotted Sandpipers were common. Robins & R-C. Kinglets were also seen. A short ways above the lake I again stopped & hand caught 2 Eastern Brook Trout (6 & 7 inches). Trout are everywhere. They dart out from, under, the banks of the river or small brooks with your every step. Arrived in a small basin at 8500 ft. on the north side of Eagle Cap Pk at 3PM after a most leisurely trip. Set up camp here with boulders on 3 sides of me & snow on the other (so). A good sized creek arrives from the snow. A small (4x20 ft)
