Koford, R. 1975 Journal Sagehen Creek Field Sta 6400ft E 3 mi NW Hubert Hills, Nevada Co, Calif 18 October I checked the traps in and near the meadow again at about 1500. One museum special had caught a Microtus montanus. The bait was peanut butter and rolled oats. The trap was at the base of a Ledgespole Pine about 2m from the creek on the S side. I then went with Bonnie Bower, Pat Warner, Jim Munger, Cap Craig, Pat Warner to a much drier area to the N. We went N on Hwy 89 from the field station to Sierraville, then E on Hwy 49 from there, to Vinton. There, we went E on Hwy 70 a couple miles to Chilcoot. That was about 42 miles from the field station road. We went N on the main road out of Chilcoot -paved- for 1.2 mi. At that point, we went E on a dirt-squeal road which was large and well-used (deer hunters were seen in the area). We stayed on that main road, went through an unlocked gate, and continued N. We then turned off to the E on a smaller dirt road, 1.25 mi. from the paved road. This road curved around to the SE, and we parked the car 0.2 mi. after leaving the main dirt road. To the E of us was a hill with large granite boulders on top, a steep rocky face on the W-facing slope, then below an area of boulders more widely spaced A, with vegetation between them. Below this was a scrub area - sagebrush and Rabbit Brush (Chrysothamnus nauseosus) mostly - which extends down into the basin. We could see the tow. of Chilcoot a couple hundred feet lower in elevation and about 2 1/2 miles away from the place we parked. There were also a few scattered Jeffrey Pines on the south-facing slope of the hill to [illegible] the E of the car. I set 5
