[[underlined]] Big Pine Mtns. [[/underlined]]

[[underlined]] Oct. 5. [[/underlined]] Packed up & continued 7 miles up the river to Cottonwood Cr. and camped & left horses. Started on foot from here to top of Mtns. at 10 A.M. & followed to head of river, then up the steep slope of canyon to Bear Camp, or Dove Flat as Mr. Liben calls it, then up to peak. Above 4000 feet there is fine big timber of Jeffry, sugar, & Coulter pines, big cone spruce, Abies & Libocedrus. Also Quercus chrysolepis & Acer macrophyllum. The forest is open & clear of chaparral and a good trail runs over the top of peak & down to open forests on the west. The peak is 6580 feet, the highest in the range. There are morter holes in rocks on top & the Fox boy found a broken pestle, showing it had been used as an Indian camp ground

Returned to camp but got in late
