E K Pearson 1969 28 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.
