R. MOON 1987 Journal 86 21 May Hole in the Wall campground, Providence Mountains, San Bernardino co., CA. Everyone woke up this morning and went through the usual group breakfast proceedings while outside it has been sunny, breezy, and cool. Afterwards, Harry Greene, Claudia Luke, several of their friends & colleagues from UCB, Bruce Waggy, and I piled in to two cars and headed for hole in the wall campground. on Kelbaker road we stopped twice before Kelso; once for a Leopard Lizard (with red spots for the breeding season) on the edge of the road, and once for a Desert Tortoise photography session (where everyone lays down on the side of the road, surrounding the tortoise, and puts & camera up to its face from each direction) (species accounts: Leopard Lizard; Desert Tortoise). Then we rounded Kelso heading for Cedar Canyon. About 1/2 way between Kelso and Cedar Canyon we stopped for another tortoise, but this time we took fewer photos. Instead, we broke out cont'd.
