Nov. 11
a few sprinkles during the night, but mostly clear. Temps.
nowhere near down to freezing. Morning partly overcast.
The lakes here include Berberis and greenbough spicessissa,
some of them drenched with "dead" Matiscia.
Quita's traps held 1 abalone long and mine held 4 abalones
longs and 1 nasty tempestuous Crying.
Chingdogs are singing, and Col Aural. Last year the when we
arrived the Chingdogs were quiet because of a cold spell.
Talked with a precious old gabebo who lives in a hut
near our tent with his 2 dogs and chickens. Showed him
also longi and he said there are lots of them around
"under stones"; also a smaller mouse and a big water
rat (mentioned by other people also). He did not respond to
my descriptions of Sextodephyx, says we are at the edge
Jones' Estancia.
In the early afternoon went up to the rock outcrops north
of camp and set 30 museum specials with cornmeal and a dozen
dry Sherman, most in crevices and little caves. No
viscous droffing seen; only droffings seen were old
Ratthor? at edge of cliff. Coming home across field of bumbgrove
and never saw a cluster of Rattloron holes. Put a drift fever
around it and plastered it with museum specials and Shermans.
Later, set two muskies for tacos and two Museum
Specials for Rattlorons. The tacos were within a
clump of nevero and an Artemisia-liko shrub. They led
to several-signs stems of the latter. Although the ants here
catch lots of tacos, we have seen no fresh diggings.
