107 R.E.Johnson 1967 Journal July 31 Cabinet Mtns, Bonner Co., Idaho (cont.) Definitely no Rosy Finches on Lunch Pk. Can't quite see MT Pend Oreille (6755 ft.) to the north. The map indicates it as having a larger barren area on top but all on the south slopes. The same is true of a ridge running E-W between Lunch Pk & Mt. Pend Oreille 3 1/4 miles by old overgrown but easy to follow trail. Mt. Pend Oreille (6755) open ridge 6628 open ridge Darling Lake Surrounded by timbers Rd & Lunch Pk.L.O. (6414 ft.) The fire weather forecast indicates possible lightning storms. Other points of interest: Scotchman Pks # 1 (7009 ft.) and 2 (6984ft.) and Savage Mtn (6906 ft.), se of Lunch Pk, seem to be steep with cliffs & snow, etc. & look very possible for Rosy Finches. NW of the lookout is a row of peaks (west of Bonners Ferry) which also look good for finches. Many of the peaks are over 7000 ft & are barren on top with visible snow even at this distance. I walked the ridge north to Mt. Pend Oreille at midday (10-1PM). Most of the ridge is Timbered with low (max 40 ft.) fir (Abies) trees with an undergrowth of beargrass and buckleberry. The ridges east from Mt.Pend Oreille & the pk. south
