E.L. Karlstrom 1954 Journal (6) April 9 After picking up repaired tire (boot had been required) and loading the wagon, we drove to the museum at 11:00 A.M. I talked with Dave Hoyt (see notes), weather records man, at the Adm. Bldg. and then picked up Norm Herkheim. We drove to Stearnon meadow, set up covered thermometer, and secured it with stakes. I took notes until 12:30 P.M. at Ford A and also exhibited pictures (see under B. lizards). We drove fast to Bricelburg for the 1:30 + outgoing coronation, arriving 1:25. Our car was 3rd from last and we were parked not more than 1/2 mile from Corronie Wyckhamites brunnea locality (0.7 mi. N of Bricelburg.) It was slow first and second gear driving, start and stop, to top of the grade. Suggest earlier arrival if this coronation taken out of Valley. The dust was heavy and on a hot day your car would boil over in a hurry. Local estimates for completion of the major part of road construction were 2 months from now. Later, Oak Flat Road may be better way out of Valley. Speedometer readings coming home: Valley (Lodge) 28301 where I got 5 gallons gas. We hit Florida on Hwy. 140 at 3:23 (8371.1). Tracy (28450.0) 5 gallons gas and last stop. Berkeley 28505. Rana catesbeiana tadpole station miles Creek, 10 mile NE Florida, Mariposa Co., Calif. Elevation about 700 ft. Time 3:10 P.M.
