18 May Essex Road, Providence Mountains, San Bernardino co., CA. (species account) We found a long-nosed snake on the pavement at about 1930 PST. We drove up to the campground at Mitchell caverns before heading back down toward the Highway. We also drove the paved part of Black Canyon Road; we found an adult glossy snake just north of Essex Road (species account: Glossy Snake). Later, we drove to Essex to drop some mail at the post office; we found two more glossy snakes on the pavement. We did not collect these two snakes. Then home via Hwy 40. On Kelbaker Road I saw two more adult glossy snakes; one on pavement, one on the dirt portion of the road (species account: Glossy Snake) we did not collect these snakes either; we looked at them and released them; then went home to sleep.
