D. Landry 1954 Journal 7 Nov 3 Sage Hen Creek, 3mi N.W. Hobart Mills, Nevada Co., Calif. Left Berkeley at 7:30 AM with wife and P. Bloodet. Arrived at Truckee at 1:00 o'clock, Meeting Pearsoni and party. The weather was clear and bright, but there was still considerable snow on the ground from the 6" fall of 2 weeks ago. We drove to Needham's experimental area, loading into Pearsoni bus for the trip over the 1.1 miles of muddy road into the area. Snow was patchy but apt to be 4-5" deep, especially in wooded and protected places. I saw one golden-mantled ground-squirrel out, eating something on a large boulder along Route 89 near Sagehen Creek. We erected a tent over one of the platforms for shelter and spread mattresses on the floor. The Cogswells arrived about night-fall. I put out 30 museum-specimen in approximately the same spot as last time out into the meadow and up along the edge of the woods. I set 4 set traps along the road in daylight for chipmunks and ground squirrels. The temperature drop at sunset is really startling. I left to set the trap at about 4:30 and returned about 5:45 when darknes had fallen. When
