L'DICKER 1979 Jan 20 (cont) Then went to Hale Poho. 9400' - 1 hrs 9200' - 7 mns Only could locate 4/1 of the traps at 9200'. Left at 1025 for H:10. Picked up 50 lbs of dry ice at 68 St Prov Co. The Towel had ordered for us (it due to the phone - from Honolulu). Bought some more groceries, and lunch, + headed back for Pohaku Loa about 1300. Worked until ~1600 processing mice. About 1645 left for Hale Poho. 1700-1730 checked + located 8 traps at 5400 ft. + added 1 more sk = 9. Saw a Mns along trail line. It had hauled down by a spinner and went up mountain (then turned from saddle and low ridge to set trap for considerate advantage). He:2+ he piled deeply in places and around Hale Pohoa most numerous trees had been accumulated under them + some of our traps were sitting - hail. This time we found all traps set at 9200', or next a few new ones. Totals: 32 sk. + 12 downstyle = 44, but 2^sh mice so only 42 left set. By the time we got back to Pohaku Loa it was dusk. Checked traps + then it was getting dark by the time to get home. Located 11 down traps inside (6 inside a den of Hana: in down line by cloud). Caught only 1 Mlny Mns + it was dead (hailly set washed from rain). Along farm, we found 14 of the 15 traps still set there + caught 1 dead Mns. Proceeded around until seeing dark.
