Butt's Canon to Cobb Mt, July 13, 1897.

Butt's Canon is the pass between Pope Valley and Coyote Valley. On the divide I met the first Yellow Pine -- single tree. The common shrubs on the divide are Arctostaphylos manzanita, Adenostoma, Yerba Santa, Ceanothus Jepsonii, C. cuneatus. Oaks = Quercus lobata, Douglasii, Wislizenii, one Kelloggii at this point. The Langtry Ranch is in Coyote Valley. In the yard stands a fine Valley Oak 18 ft. circ at 5 ft.
From Middleton we climbed Cobb Mt. as the wagon road goes and camped all night at the summit. The next day we went on to Adam's Springs & Glenbrook.
- Big Sugar Pine at Glenbrook, 6 ft. diam, at about 4 ft from ground -- made 10,000 shakes. Difference in splitting quality of tree. "Shake-splitter will hunt around a day or two to secure a favorable tree"
