P.A. Kelly 1983 Journal 4.30pm Macabees: 1 Y. bollar 9.30pm Shermans: 27 D. panamintinus. 7 P. truei 5 P. maniculatus Started raining heavily after 9pm so we all had to abandon our camp fire and run for our tents. Nov. 20 Got up at 7.15 after a night of gale-force winds and torrential rain. The tent held up very well, but Mike and Ed got washed out during the night. 7.30am lifted Macabees: 3 Y. bollar 9.00 am lifted Shermans: 10 D. panamintinus (1 dead) 10 P. truei 8 P. maniculatus 1 A. leucurus We all muckled in and helped Jim skin and disembowel his collection of gophers and then cleaned up the campsite and burnt or buried our rubbish. Left around 11am and we drove over Walker Pass and thro' the Kern River Valley back to Bakersfield and 'civilization'. The Kern River Valley is the most spectacular sight I've seen to date in California, and I look forward to returning there to camp & fish for trout.
