Pearson 1978 about 5:30 Anita put 40 museum spears around the edge of a grassy campground meadow with dense rose and deberry thickets. I put about 25 in a forest of Potagua (myceugenia xiseca) with a few cwayance, spurred with campground refuse. some traps in a small almost-mucky sedgey meadow. About 10 feet up in several trees are plastic bags stuck in the branches. These must indicate the level of the lake after last winter's floods. This would be at least [illegible], maybe 20 feet above the present level of the lake.

Most of the abdon's with blackberry in the
