1935.
Nine rat traps set amongst rocks of cliffs
of Road Creek Canyon + 4 mouse traps amongst
buildings adjacent to camp grounds. Also
one steel trap set in burrow found beside
a cliff on canyon slope. Evidence of former
presence of wood rats found in form of old
feces + nests, but present number of rats
few due to distribution of poisoned grain some-
time previous to our arrival.
Deer startled out of semi-sprawling aspen
while setting trap. Identification of deer
impossible due to failing daylight.
