R.E. Johnson 1968 Journal 108 Aug.30 Storm Lake, Deer Lodge Co., to Missoula, Montana Drove down from Storm Lake to US 10A & then west to Philipsburg & the US Forest Service office to obtain some maps & information about the Sapphire Mtms. They told me that a logging road now reaches very near the top of the 8995 ft. peak (highest pk in the range) in the Sapphires. This road approaches from the west side & I should see the rangers in the Bitterroot Valley area for details. This is a much faster approach than from Frogpond Basin. See Aug. 22 & 26 for details I continued to Missoula on US 10A & US 10 to get a final MS thesis copy & etc. Near Georgetown Lake I saw two Belted Kingfishers, & in the lake near the campground between the lake & the road I saw 12 Red-necked Grebes and 1 Pied-billed Grebe. Aug 31 - Sept. 18 - No Rosy Finch Collecting Time spent (1) on MA Thesis red tape (2) Glacier Park Trail Guide (3) Travel back to California including more car troubles.
