April 9 Doug Hubbard, Associate Naturalist at Yosemite,
reports that Tioga Pass Road slated to be open
by June 15, as is customary. A naturalist is
usually at Glacier by end of June when public
can get to Glacier Point. He directed me to
Walter Hoyt, a Ranger now available at the
Administration Building, who now operates weather
station at museum and has kept Yosemite records
for years. Hoyt let me see weather data sheets
for past year. Some pertinent figures are here
listed (readings taken daily at 5 P.M.): ^
