Large "pit" of camping strategy are used by
the ORV club. We surveyed the extensive damage,
took a few photos, & followed the road as it looped
off into the nts & back to R-M Rd. We returned
to California City for water & a few groceries.
Then had been scattered showers during the night
& we could see evidence of it from Kofa Dry Lake
to Calif. City. Several other squabbles could be seen
in the distance, especially to the N. We saw quite
a few desert tortoises in our drive & carried
them off the roads. Along Naval Air Rd., N of Calif.
City & again in the Road Mtns. we took photos of them.
We drove west of Calif. City to Calif. 14 & went
N to Radrock Canyon, stopping for gas near the jet.
With the Red Hills Rd. Then we drove up the Canyon
lead to Dove Spring. Almost the entire canyon has
been ruined by ORV's. The destruction is hard to
believe. We took a number of photos here too. It
was just cloudy with a few drops of rain now & then,
& cold & windy. The wind for us from the west.
About 1600 struck back to camp, arriving about
1630. We immediately set out to build a meat
grids. Traps had been left open all day. An
arched grid caught: P. longimembrus - 1 specimen from this
arm in arm trap.
Phemogulus mojavensis - 1
Ute - 1
