LIDICKER 1967 Point Reyes Trip with Clinton H. Conaway & S. B. Benson May 27 Conaway & I left Berkeley about 0935, crossed Golden Gate Bridge & took road to Pt. Bonita, through Forts Baker & Barry. The large valley which the road follows looks in very good shape, a likely place to trip for Nematrichaea, Sorex, & Zapus. Next we investigated the Tern. Valley (Elk Valley) Rd. to the North. It is pretty well thick up & overgrown so far as we could go; we ran into private roads before we could get a furr Ft. Cronkhite. The we briefly visited Muir Woods, had lunch in Bolinas, & then continued on to Duncans. We checked into the Duncan Motel (~3/4 mi. S Dunmore) at 4/12 at night for the 2 yrs. Then we explored out Pt. Reyes to the Lighthouse, went to Drakes Beach, & returned to Benson's place at 1645. Benson is 1 mi. by rd. S. of Duncans (1 mi. SE Inverness). The 3 of us set ~ 40 song traps in the dense forest on Benson's property, especially setting for shrews in the fern clumps, under rotten logs etc. Then we went to search new top. A ridge where road crosses ridge on way to Pt. Reyes (2 mi. W, 0.8 mi. N Duncans, 300 ft.). Here we set about 50 Muss. & jones & 20 Longworth line traps. Then we drove out the new Park Rd. to "Pt. Reyes Beach Work"
