3 follow (she had her own car), but after chasing half a dozen trails and always finding wire fence obstruction I gave it up; so all of us left, as she alone might have had trouble in following back the complicated trail by which we had arrived. - Well down Roubideau we parted, Miss Weaver driving to her appointment and the rest of us going north to the Brule bridge. Took a photograph of Pauline against an interesting erosion background of Brule. - We climbed the crooked drainage course to approach top of the bridge formation. I took four photographs. Windy and chilly by this time. Hundreds of tiger beetles abroad during the afternoon, but I could not stop to collect. Caught two by hand (black, with buff-colored elytral marks) on Kiowa. Many sedges in flower; large cream-colored vetch about to open; the tiny mats of cymopterus in flower; Pseudocympoterus just opening. Birds numerous, but saw none unusual. Despite the failure of our program it was a delightful trip, which we all enjoyed. Memo of Apr. 19 photos : 1. Signal Butte. View slightly south of east across Kiowa, showing Spring flowing in (channel filled with "tumble-weeds": Russian thistle) 2.Showing characteristic cleavage of Brule under water erosion; wall overhang of 10 or 12 feet. Pauline standing in. 3. "Natural bridge." 4. Cecile is standing in early drainage cut which afforded run-off during period before the wall was penetrated by water and the "bridge" formed.
