At Myers we turning into field to go by the dairy ranch & rode for a mile over sandy flat where the big junipers grow - 6 feet in diameter & 75 feet high - photographed several. Followed up the valley a short mile & turned up the grade over crest of range at 7500 feet. Good road up steep slope.
Went around to Echo Lake but decided to return & camp on Placerville road at upper end of meadows on west slope. Camped at 7300 feet just below Audrian Lake. This is the extreme head of the south Fork of American River.
Came only 5 miles on the direct road camped at noon & hunted. Got a male Pinicola. Found signs of snowshoe rabbits common. S. beldingi & 3 species of Eutamias are common. Thomomys, Peromyscus, Microtus mordax, Sciurus californicus, are common. 1 Arctomys seen. A few deer tracks seen in the meadow.
