[[underlined]] July 20 - [[/underlined]]  Packed specimens, finished our writing, made up a few things.
Another hot day.

[[underlined]] July 21. [[/underlined]]  Packed up, got supplies in Susanville & started west on the Prattville road.  Crossed the first divide and down to the edge of Mountain Meadows where we camped about 12 miles west & a little south of Susanville.  Climbed to top of nearest high peak to get range of trees.  Set traps for Aplodontia & other things.
Soon after leaving Susanville we leave Quercus californicus & all trace of Sonoran flora & are in Transition forest the rest of the way.  Pinus ponderosa & jeffreyi are mixed at the lower edge of forest but on top of ridge it is only jeffreyi.  This is the more abundant species & crowds out ponderosa except low down.  Other common forest trees
