Got several more Zapus - all males - but no more
oregoni . Started in a.m., left Draple Creek about
noon. Spent a lot of time trying to locate another
camping place, + after numerous unsuccessful turns
we turned off of 101 S. of Eureka on the road to
Falk. This road ends at what used to be an active
saw mill but it has not been operating since 1937 and
the road is dotted with lovely abandoned log houses.
He reached several without success. Set out only our
snap traps along the creek by the saw mill. Heard
horned owl, saw a squirrel in a tree (striking orange
on belly - could it have been a flying squirrel?) and
heard wood rats at night. No bats seen until in the
morning, when 3 were seen flying while it was
already quite light out.
