R. MOON 1987 Journal 92 24 May Dorners Camp, Granite Mountains, San Bernardino co., CA. Bob, Bruce, and I worked on a turtle trap that Bob wants to use to catch a turtle in one pond along the Mojave River. Claudia, Pam, Ian, & Dave left today on their ways back to work at Pisgah Crater (Claudia) and UCB (the others). Early this afternoon Bob, Bruce, and I drove out to Arizona to find some snakes at night. We drove up to Oatman, Arizona and we hiked around the summit a few miles above Oatman. While hiking around before sunset I got several spines from the jumping chollas in my shoes. That was not a comfortable experience. Anyway, at night we found a long-nosed snake on Boundary Cone Road. We made several passes on the road and found no other snakes - only traffic. So we headed back to the Granites when it got too cold for the snakes. Arrived back here at Dorners camp at about 2230 PST.
