place to eat lunch, at the kitchen to cook.
There were 2 electric stoves, both functioning.
The water system, however, was working only part of the time & I don't think we ever
got the hot water going. All in all, though,
it was very comfortable. We set traps out --
Didi, Betty and I set a line of 27 large
folded Sherman's along the retaining wall
below the path along the lake. Another 10
we put around the house ... there was lots
of mouse sign under the edge of an overturned
boat, near a pile of wood, etc.
I had a real feast for dinner -- all set up
around the long table in the main room of the
lodge. Didi & I checked the traps and the
house, & caught a Chiffchaff (hummingbird?)
under a clap of sticks at one corner of the
house. OP & I checked mine & the others
later in the evening, but no one was home.
July 27, 1969 - Bonacoda
In the am we found a Calomys in
another of the traps around the house. Betty
in the other line. Later in the morning (I
had put about 10 small Sherman's around the house
to see if we could get some diurnal activity), after
we had not caught any more mice, we all lifted
the overturned boat & grabbed a nestbox.
Further excavations produced 4 tools ... large
ones.
