P.O. Jewelry 1251 Journal 3 June 17 Sage Hen Creek, 3 mi N.W. Hobart Mills. Nevada to California. Sage Hen Creek. I set out 3 museum specimens and the 2 rat bacon traps. We set 5 steel traps along the road, baited with salted June 18 - 1 more chipmunk in the rat trap, somewhat smaller than the other 2. Caught in exactly the same spot, a rock slide above the camp. I gutted all the chipmunks, ground squirrels and brought 'em back with me. I wonder that there are no jikas in here, on these rock slides. The environment seems ideal, but there are none. No porcupines in the traps; the baits were absolutely untouched. Irritatingly enough, we found freshly barked trees in camp! I guess we sleep too soundly. We packed our stuff and left camp about 2:00 p.m. We had a little difficulty finding all our traps but finally did so. We came home by way of Lake Tahoe, a very worthwhile side trip. I picked up 4 Rana boylii from the creek in camp with and dropped them into a jar of alcohol Dillwyn Swarttel had supplied me. They seem very sluggish and easy to capture. Perhaps it is the cold weather. Got back to Berkeley about 10:00 p.m., and dumped all the specimens and traps at M.V.Z. Bob wants the chipmunk that he shot as a skeleton for the Paleo collection. M.V.Z. will keep the skin (#31)
