38_144 High Prairie Creek, Del Norte Co. largest weighing about 25 pounds. The river is 2000 yards wide at the ferry. It is here a tidal stream since the ocean is only 1/4 mile or less away. There is a salmon canning establishment on the bank of the river. This morning we cross at 6 o'clock and turn inland a few hundred yards and then northerly. Following up High Prairie Creek, the can_on of which is filled with Sequoia sempervirens, Tsuga hetterophylla [heterophylla], Picea sitchensis, Chamaecyparis lawsoniana (a few trees in one spot). The jungle beneath the trees is composed of Sambucus callicarpa, up to 16 ft. h., Rubus parviflorus up to 10 and I think 14 ft. h., Rubus spectabilis, the Salmon Berry, up to 10 ft. h., Rubus vitifolius, Woodwardia radicans. |
38_145 8 Aug. 1921 Pteris aquilina, Vaccinium arvifolium, Oxalis oregana, Mimulus Langsdorfii, Ranunculus repens (this buttercup abundant in little grassy meadows). We camp for breakfast after 3 or 4 mi., with a crested Blue Jay or Steller's Jay for company. -After leavinf the drainage of High Prairie_ Creek we came down a few miles to Wilson Creek, which enters the ocean directly. We climb up again as usual. The Redwood covers the country back of the bluffs but does not occur on the ocean bluffs or at least only a few scattered trees if any. The ocean bluffs carry a soft chaparral consisting of Rubus parvifolius, Holodiscus discolor (12 ft. h.!), Pteris aquilinia _cf. Map. Perhaps this should be Hunter Creek. |
