R. MOON 1987 Journal 45 1 May Granite mountains to Tecapa, the kingston range, Nevada, and oatman, Arizona. we were lost until we saw someone driving over from the other direction who thought he was lost but he came from Hwy 15 and that's where we were going, so no problem after all. On the gravel road through the mountains we caught a speckled rattlesnake. The subspecies in this area is Crotalus mitchellii stephensi. We took Hwy 15 east and just cast of the Clark Mtns we took the road to Nipton and Nevada, picking up flat Coachwhips along the way. Then south in Nevada to the Colorado River at Davis Dam where we crossed over into Arizona. A little later, after dark, we night drove Boundary Cone Road that goes up to Oatman, Arizona. In several passes we collected three longnose snakes, a sidewinder, and a dead leaf-nosed snake. When it got too cold we ate dinner in Needles, CA and then took Hwy 40 back to the Granite mountains, Bruce and I riding in the back of Bob's truck hoping we didn't catch hypothermia. It was freezing.
