E.L. Karlstrom 1954 Journal (19) May 25 4 miles E of Fish Camp, Sierra Natt. Forest, Monjosa Co., Coly. Camping area alongside a creek. The road headed across the creek but it was too deep to drive across. At 7 p.m. I decided to stop here and fish for my dinner. Two young 5-6" rainbows (dull markings) were taken. Royal Coachman fly most effective. Other trout which rose were same size or smaller. 8:30 p.m. (D.S.) I decided to scout for other road to Boggy meadow. I started back the same way I came but found no other roads while I had tire tracks. The roadbed is so bad 10 m.p.h. is top speed. Winter work has not been removed. The maze of forest service "roads" here is beyond me without a jeep. No Hyldn or other grums were heard in this back country. Level area are few as the canyon walls or steep- sided. Elevation about 6000 ft. Logged off rocky country with yellows sugar pine, white cedar, much monzquita. At 9:15 p.m. I was back out to Hwy. 41. Traveled .5 to west side of Boss Lake where I camped at Sierra Natt. Forest public camp. Hylda calling. May 26 Breakfast beside beautiful calm Boss Lake. Warm clear morning. Bullbirds circling (2), many Brewer's blackbirds, white-crowned sparrows my visitors. South on Hwy- 41 to North Creek. Talked with Forest Ranger at store there. Keeler Pass has been open 6 weeks, opened early because of Edison Co. dam going up. Suggested taking new Auberry grade, left turn
