R. Moon 1987 Journal 87 21 may on the way to Hole in the Wall, Providence Mountains, San Bernardino co., CA. the hulla hoops (thats Hula hoops) and had a hooping contest on the side of the road. It seemed that Claudia won, and I only wondered how small children could do this with their little bodies and such big hoops. Anyway, we did finally make it over Cedar Canyon Road and down onto Black Canyon Road. While passing through the sagebrush plains east of Mid Hills we found a large Gopher Snake on the dirt road. We were only distracted by the snake for a short while still on our way to Hole in the Wall (We weren't really in a hurry and we didn't even know what we were going to do there, but thats where we were headed). Once we arrived at the campground we saw a large Chuckwalla on a rock near a picnic table. This was surprising because the habitat is desert scrub with some junipers and sagebrush, but no creosote (Species account: chuckwalla). cont'd.
