Journal R E. Johnson 1968 April 13, Squaw Valley, Calif. To Reno, Nev. to White Mtns, Calif. The cabin on the road to the remains of still another cabin. The road continued but returned down to the car. There is a good little creek in the canyon bottom, lined with willows. In these Spotted Towhees & Blue-gray- Gnatchers. Chukars ran along the road. Lizards (5"; Sceloprus?) were common. Time 1-2 PM. A Rock Wren sat on a dry dirt bluff above the canyon bottom. A Say Phoebe sat on top a cottonwood at the lower cabin (no creek at this point). A Desert Sparrow flew from a bush beside the road & landed 50 ft away on another bush (sage). [Subsequent written 2 wks later and necessarily] [more brief & less accurate] Drove west back to Bishop & then south on US 395 to Bigpine & east again on a paved road to Westgard Pass. The road to White Mtn begins a mile or more beyond the pass (east of it). The road is now paved (it was not paved several yrs. ago when I ascended it in my old black Ford) & relocated a bit over its old location making it a bit less steep. It is also now a wider road than the road to Westgard pass from Bigpine. The pavement extends to the Schulman Grove (10 miles) & then continues as a wide dirt road.
