2. Moon 1987 Journal 70 16 May Quail Spring Basin, Providence Mountains, San Bernardino co., CA. We drove to where the road enters the sandy wash south of Quail Spring. From there I hiked over the low, Creosote-Yucca hills toward the spring. Bruce looked all around the rocky hillside south of the road for lizards. At the spring I found a dry metal trough with some rabbit bones in it. Just passed this there was a dead bull in the narrow, sandy wash. There was a depression in the wash with water in it and a lot of bees around it. Further up the canyon, about 1/8 mi. or less, I found a small cave with some water in it and a wooden frame at the entrance like in a mine shaft. After looking around for a little while I headed back to the car to head home. It was still sunny with a few high clouds and an occasional breeze, as it had been all afternoon, when we left. on our way down Kelbaker Road we found an adult Gopher snake on the pavement (species accounts Gopher Snake). Then home to play darts & rest.
