3 may Bull Canyon, Granite Mountains (near
Kelso), San Bernardino co., CA.
back to Cottonwood Canyon so we headed
back up the canyon. We never made it
to the second trap site down the canyon
further.
There is no trail in Bull Canyon so
we bouldered our way up the north
most fork at the head of the canyon. On our
way up we found a collared lizard on a
boulder on the sunny, north side of the canyon.
It took us just over 1 1/2 hours to go over
the saddle above Bull Canyon and back down
into Cottonwood Canyon.
After Dark Brian Norton, Bruce Waggy, and I
drove to Chambless on the old Hwy 66. On
Kelbaker Road north of Hwy 40 we saw a
sidewinder, a Mojave Rattlesnake, and a kit
Fox on the road; the kit Fox ran away as
we approached (Species account: Kit Fox). South
of Hwy 40, near the Bristol Mountains we saw
a shore-nosed snake and a speckled rattlesnake
On the pavement.
We also saw a scorpion on the road
after returning from Chambless (where we used
the telephone). Then back to the Granites.
