There were <br /> numerous game trails through the area,with scat of deer and elk. <br /> Next, we then traversed on foot through areas F-A-11 and F-AB-09, walked up slope to other areas of F-AB- <br /> 09, F-A-10, and F-B-11 toward the ridgeline (heading south) against undisturbed areas slightly west of the <br /> overlook of Horse Gulch fill (K-A-10).These areas had a variety of established vegetation (e.g. wild rose, <br /> yarrow, brome, alfalfa, lewis flax, burnet, sage, milkvetch, snow berry—Photos 5-7). However, I did find a <br /> small area of about 20 feet X 10 feet (Photo 8) along the western edge of the largest parcel F-AB-09 where <br /> the soil changed from brown to grey(possibly clay or spoil)where established plants were healthy, but the <br /> spacing between these mostly large plants was quite large. One final note:these parcels were the only time <br /> I saw evidence of cattle having been in the area. <br /> mw <br /> ZN <br /> ��,� w <br /> Photo 5 Photo 6 <br /> 4 <br /> I.h f u <br /> Photo 7 Photo 8 <br /> After lunch,the group returned to the field, beginning our inspection at the crest of the Horse Gulch fill <br /> area (K-A-11 and the northern Z-A-10 parcel), shown from across the gulch in Photo 9. This photo also <br /> shows,from across the Horse Gulch fill, the upper third of the fill face (K-A-11)with very good plant growth, <br /> with the faces of the two lower lifts (K-A-10) showing more sage growth (note darker green of vegetation). <br /> The reclaimed area on top of the fill (K-A-11)was fairly flat(Photo 10) and shows diverse vegetation firmly <br /> established with growth up to about two feet for shrubs and large grasses.
