No bats in the big git up the road , one & Cory awake in the not dirt tunnel . Dayio & I went up to the Aetna Abyss tunnel & looked through it thoroughly for the first time . no bats , but it seems like a good tunnel . Several pools of very clear water in it, in old vertical shafts. Supper & slept at Pete Creek where we saw Pipistrelles flying . Got raised on during the night , & had real lightning & thunder. In the Am drove up to Marketta Mines & started through all the tunnels . No bats in Cotacachi or OP tunnels . Found one & in Lucerne-like tunnel , several & & a young & in Mangaita tunnel ( 2 escaped ) , one & in upper Mangaita (one blinded & escaped ) , 2 Corys escaped in the Abyss tunnel , 1 escaped in well tunnel east of 20-house hole . The 2 that we missed in the Abyss tunnel were flying when we first saw them , & flew into a little cubby hole quite close to the top. We couldn't follow them there . In the Mangaita Tunnel there was one torpid & & one torpid young &. All the other bats we saw at Marketta were awake! It was a overcast , fairly cool day .
