Frances A Prock 1941 Journal May 18 Russian Gulch State Park, Mendocino Co, California at the edge of it. 2:00 PM. Viola Memmler, Mrs Durnell and I took North trail to young forest on flat lands again. Weather was warm and sunny. Excavated a mole burrow in sandy soil on side of trail at edge of growth of manzanita and huckleberry. Mounds were high piles of dirt the hole being in the center of the mound. In some cases hole came up straight to surface and others slanted. One burrow went down 12 inches, and came to surface travelling about 2 inches below then ended by coming to very surface and going under matting of decaying leaves. Four of the mounds were fresh today, because they hadn't been rained on. Burrows wound in among tangle of surface roots of the manzanita & huckleberry, and were about 1 1/4 inches in diameter. Set mole trap in 3 inch deep unexcavated burrow. Went on into forest where I caught some vagrants on May 17 night and set two rat traps in the large burrow openings I found there in hopes of catching an Apodortus. Went back into forest of douglas fir, Bishop pine, and Redwood and set 16 traps mostly along sides and under decaying tree trunks strewn on the ground.
