LIDICKER 1974 10Dec cont. Valley. We drove up this year 1 large page & stopped about 1 mi. further to camp away the rocks on the valley floor. This location is: 20 mi. E, 1 mi. S Teacote, 1000 m. Of around places the valley widens out and there is a meadow that all are heavily overgrown. We can imagine that these meadows and stream courses could have had corn sowing for centuries in the past but not now. There is no willow or ashby or of corn so flowing water. Started getting traps in a hurry about 1530. I met large collapsh. Shannon's baited with mixed chicken scratch, crimped oats, oat meal & small piece of potato. Set 15 along stream course & 5 near on edge of chestnut. The rest & more - only got caught 4 11 out comes the overgrown meadows of 50 lb. indians. Long Ripp & 2 them out & 50th sets as it got dark. Gopher sign is abundant. Near Spanish: I was checking about way out of Teacote, a hotcat along the dirt road, parallel to the highway & a cogon - the meadow & we approached [illegible] Birds see since Teacote: Red-t.
