Abstract

In late June, 1943, Professor G. J. Spencer and Dr. R. H. Hanford accompanied Mr. Ronald Buckell on an entomological trip into the Cariboo district of central-southern British Columbia. They planned to visit the grasshopper outbreak areas beyond the Gang Ranch, and so after driving through Clinton and up onto the Green Timber Plateau they turned west. Taking the Gang Ranch road and then the Dog Creek cut-off, they soon discovered that the preceding rainy weather and Chinook winds had made the road a quagmire. For several hours they bounced and slid from one mud-hole to the next, wading out to shove and swear when the car gave up; and upon occasion it was bogged to the running boards.
