[[underline]] Tacoma to North Yakima [[/underline]].

[[underline]] Nov. 21 [[/underline]]. Got into Tacoma at about 5 AM and left at 8:15. Warm & raining. Grass fresh & green but many of the common plants dead & dried up. Lots of berry fields and apple orchards. Some hop fields.

Followed up slope through heavy timber but rain & snow & dirty windows hid the trees for any detailed notes.

Struck snow at 2400 feet & had it over the summit about 4 inches deep and some down to Easton on the east slope at 2150. Then no more snow and a few miles past Easton Pinus ponderosa begins an grows more abundant. At Cleelum it is the dominant tree tho aspens & alders grow along the bottoms.   The high mountains are all hidden by clouds, tho at Cleelum we leave the rain and fog.

About half way from Cleelum to Thorp the country opens out with big yellow lava hills on the north & black timber on the south but with pines and cottonwoods along the river bottoms. These may [[strikethrough]] to [[/strikethrough]] be a touch of Upper Sonoran on south
