R. Moon 1987 Journal 46 2 May East side of the Providence Mountains, San Bernardino co., CA. Bob Macey, Kellar Autumn, Bruce Wagg, and I drove over Foshay Pass from Vulcan Mine. We looked for the road to Blind Spring that the map shows, but this road doesn't seem to exist anymore. We also looked at a spring two canyons west of Blind Spring but we couldn't find any way to drive closer than the pipe- line road. So we drove up Black Canyon Road and then took Wild Horse Canyon Road to the northwest edge of Wild Horse Mesa. We drove up an old road at the south- west corner of Wild Horse Canyon. This area has some of the most dense piñon-juniper woodland I have seen in the Providence Mountains. Under a piñon pine I caught a large Gopher Snake that Kellar spotted (Species account: Gopher Snake). We looked around the area near an old water tank but we left when some other people drove up in an old pickup, driving over bushes as they went. So we drove up past the Mid Hills campground and took Cedar Canyon Road cont'd
