March 22 cont. We stopped to look for microtine signs. There was a relatively smooth area. Vegetation included Carex, Rudera, Ribes, a non-joy story, & a variety of grasses. Cottonwood Creek ran nearby. We went on to the coast looking for a dirt road going N. along the coast. Apparently it doesn't exist as it blocked by a gorse. Very soon after coming around Hardy Creek & then a second creek before starting South along the bluffs, within a half mile another small valley opens toward the ocean. After we turned off the road & located more microtine signs. There was an old logger tree with "Jones Creek" written on it. We found out a total of 46 traps then all but 8 were longworth's baited with cringed oats, rolled oats or a little peanut butter; 4 traps were small non-collapsable Sherman set in pairs (back to back) in nursery under boards. It continued to rain off & on. I picked up a Buttercup & took 2 more. Then we drove 5 miles back to Rockport Roadhead & cast out the total of 76 traps (8 longworths & the rest large Shermans - mostly non-collapsable). We also found a dead snake in this locality. Finally we drove 0.8 mi. back toward the coast & pulled off the road to camp. We set 32 non-collapsable Shermans then -- every one baited with the peanut butter (using corn only). This was Douglas-Fir- Redwood Forest with rotten logs, ferns etc., frantically up a steep hillside. This gave us a total traps out of 154.
