E.L. Kadetun 1954 journal (10) April 24 Bearagay mdr., 7300 ft., Yosemite Natl. Park, Mariposa Co., Calif. These plants could not have been out more than a few days(?) area in full sun except under lodgepole pine cover. Willows along stream budding but none burst. We drove through clouds from Ten Wawona Tunnel to Chinquagin and there thru mist nearly to Bearagay. Scattered low clouds seen from Bearagay but sun shining most of time. Clouds drifting through tree tops. Clouds obscured sun continuously beginning about 2:35 P.M. Strenner meadow, 4100 ft., Yosemite Valley at 4:50 P.M. (D.S.T.) Sky overcast. Apple trees with new leaves and in full bloom. Black oak reddish brown leaves and catkins - just coming out; some not out. Black cottonwood yellow green leaves, just out. We made night checks of Strenner east, Grist Center meadows, and one SW of Old Village. Only food tribe seen were at Strenner. Hydras flowering all places checked. April 25 Phorologically the Valley appears to be about 1 1/2 months ahead of Bearagay Meadow area (R.C.S.) To Bearagay looks much like Valley did in late February this year (?)
