[[underlined]] Luna Valley [[/underlined]]

[[underlined]] Sept. 5&6 [[/underlined]]. Remained at camp trapping up the canyon but without much success. Found some bear signs, plenty of coon & fox & cat & coyote tracks & a mink track, but could not stay long enough to begin catching them. Got plenty of small stuff, Neotomas, Microtus mogollonensis, 3 species of Peromyscus Chipmunks, groundsquirrels etc. & 2 species of bats.

[[underlined]] Sept. 7 [[/underlined]]. Broke camp and struck west on the Springerville road up over high ridges to 8400 feet then on the same level to Bush Valley, where we came close to the south side of the Escudilla Mtn. and decided to go up it, so turned north & camped in a gulch on its south side at 9000 feet. at a little spring.

Came through Transition zone forest all the way with yellow pines and a few douglas spruce & Gambels oak. On the lower hot, steep slopes there were still blue oaks & junipers up to about 8000 feet.
