Hello,
Just returned from one of the cp capitals of the West: NW CA & SW-OR.
Thought some of you might be interested in a preview of possible highlights
there if you are free to wander our wilderness areas next summer.
Key Words: Gasquet, Hiouchi, Wimer Road, $8 Mountain Rd., Smith River,
Illinois River, serpentine.
Probable cps: Darlingtonia californica, Drosera rotundifolia, Pinguicula
macroceras nortensis.
Possible cps north or south of this area: all other cps of W.-US including U.
ochroleuca.
Other species of note: serpentine endemics, several members of Liliaceae,
Orchidaceae
Also to be seen: emu, ostrich, pronghorn antelope, llama, various elk,
several avian species of both oceanic and continental origin to fatten up
those life lists.
