Itinerary
Paradise Spring to Drinkwater Spring.
Left Paradise Spring about 11 AM, and
had driven only a few hundred yds.
down the road when a large Dipso-
saurus dorsalis ran across the
road and stopped under a Crossote
Bush (Corilica). I shot it with the 410.
We then continued via Garlic Spring
and Bicycle Lake to Drinkwater Spring.
This is at the base of a range of
mountains - the Granite Mountains.
The rather low hills back of the spring
are covered with large granite boulders.
Around the spring are many large
(6-8 ft.) bushes of Corillea. The ground
is covered with low annuals, mostly
Amsinckia. Further out from the
hill there is less annual herbage
and more scattered, low-bushes of,
Atriplex, Sarcobatus?, Ephedra and
Corillea. Here in a sandy spot
shot a Callisaurus ventralis and
catched a Chrysozoma. On the rocks
saw some kind of Sceloporus and
many Uvas. Also got a snap-shot
at a cottontail but missed. This
place designated as Drinkwater Spring,
T. 16 N., R. 4 E., San Bernardino Co., Calif.
