A rat trap set on a log yesterday evening was left until this evening when a Woodrat was found caught.
The trap was set where a Chipmunk had been seen. The habitat was very mixed. It was between the strictly Redwood forest below and the Pine barren above. Bishop pines, Cypresses pygmaea, Pinus contorta var. bolanderi, and Deer fern are dominant in the vegetation. The animal caught was a mature ♂. No Nests were found near where the animal was trapped. The area is located about 1 mile from the camp grounds in the Gulch via the north trail to the Pine Barrens.
