R. MOON 1987 Journal 35 25 April Dorner's Camp and Kelbaker Road in the rain, San Bernardino co., CA. tortoises on Essex Road between Hwy 40 and the Caverns at about 0730 PST. They said a pair of these courting. At about 1700 PST a thunderstorm blew over and brought about 1 hours worth of rain to Dorner's Camp. My parents arrived for a two day visit just after the storm blew over. After dark Bruce and I took my parents out to show them how to night drive looking for snakes. We found a shovel-nosed snake on Kelbaker Road about 1 mi. north of the old Hwy 66. Then we turned around and drove back up toward Kelso. We found a long-nosed snake on the pavement at about 2030 PST, after the rain had stopped (Species account: Long-nosed Snake). Then we went back to the cabin.
