Aug 28 Tomez Creek, 6mi NW Bland, F500ft Sandoval Co New Mexico exactly as in the Canadian Zone spuce prents. I did not see a nutcatch at all. I picked up 3 little Horned Toads in the little grassy, piny slope mentioned above. I found out an adult Horned Toad on the ridge over-looking camp under the Douglas Fir. It rained like all get out tonight. I didn't set out any traps. Wasps floated away, a lot of 'em, leaving us even shater of traps:
Aug 28. Broke Camp early in the morning and went-in to Santa Fe for mail. We checked at the Fish & Game to get the permit altered, so that Pearson, who is coming out, may collect. We saw the opening of the annual Santa Fe fiesta, and then next to sleep in the bush, in the same spot we previously slept in. It hadn't changed a bit.
Aug 30 Came down to Fort Albuqerge to pick up the truck. It was not ready and furthermore, Miller's check bounced, so that we have to wait a couple of days. Ward is hell bent for election or going deer hunting and is going to leave as truckless in the bush. We hunted all over for a nearby place to camp and finally came up with this one, which is in the middle of an archery range. It is his Grande Valley, cotton woods where there is water, and sage and caestus where there is not. We have 20 gallons of water and groceries.
