8 May 7 Lieut. Oswald called for me at 10:45 and carried me to the CCC camp in the Wildcat Range. Overcast, cool, windy. Had lunch with the Lieutenant at the mess. In flower: Leucocrinum montanum; Viola nuttallii; (photo of each); false dandelion (Aposeris sp.). Cymopterus, I learn, is called "Indian potato"; the edible roots were used by them. Afternoon more chilly, with steady strong wind from the west. I was driven to the recreational area - two miles straight, four by road. The developmental work not far advanced. Took several photogaphs north from Lookout Station; a splendid view across Cedar Valley to the Bluff. Photo of tables and grills in picnic area. Photo of Viola nuttallii in flower under pines, almost buried by the fallen needles. Photo of Rhus triblobata. On my way back to the CCC camp, I was picked up by a 95-county car and carried to Gering, arriving 4 p m. May 8 To the Bluff. Overcast, cool, slight breeze. - Took 16 photos; see film record for details. Got in the way of Mrs. Daniels, Lee's mother, on the golf course, our first meeting; we had a pleasant chat. Examined a nest of the magpie with several young birds, about three days old.
