B.R. Moon 1987 Journal 13 10 April Dorner's Camp, Granite Mountains, San Bernadino County, CA. Took the day off today to hang around Dorner's. 1600 PST. I found a desert tortoise next to the square water tank at Dorner's cabin; it was in the shade and not active when I found it (species account: Desert tortoise). 1830 PST. Bruce and I drove to Ludlow via Hwy 66. On Kelbaker Road 2.8 miles north of Hwy 40 we found a large Mojave rattlesnake on the road; that was the fifth one we've seen on that stretch of Kelbaker Road in the past five days. North of Hwy 66 on Kelbaker Road we found a sidewinder with 9 rattle segments and the tip broken off (species account: sidewinder). We also found a road-killed patch nosed snake.
