E.L. Karbatum 1954 Journal (2) April 7 log. The steam temp. at 1:30 P.M. 190 C. Air Temp. (shaded bulb) same. Bear Creek, 2 mi. S Bridelung, Morigoro Co., Calif. 2500 ft. 2:50 P.M. Road repairs on Bridelung grade stopped us here until 4:30 when caravan of cars piloted through. The stream parallels the highway here. Rivine is steep-sided and fairly well strewn with rock and earth from work on road. Temperatures in the high 60's warm and sunny. One Rosa gaylei was taken in shallow water. She left front tire had picked up a sharp stone and I had a half flat tire while I changed while we waited for the 4:30 caravan. A pilot car led us down the Bridelung Grade to Bridelung itself where Hwy. 140 was clear right into the Valley. Arrived Yosemite Lodge 6:05 P.M. (speedometer 282-16.) Road miles Tracy- Monteca - Modesto - Marced - Morigoro - Valley about 202 miles. I called Doug Hubbard at his home (#24 Employee's residence area northwest of Court Center) and he suggested we save money by using Ranger Club instead of Yosemite Lodge cabin. We elected, however, to camp out at Camp 4 instead. Kris bedded down in plug for backseat station wagon. We slept on air mattresses beside the car. Big Moose American scared hell out of my wife about one o'clock. She
