R. MOON 1987 Journal 49 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.
