June 28 Santa Rosalia, Baja California
Dodge lost a left front wheel. The bearing
spindle broke between the threads and the be-
ginning of the taper. In addition the shock of
losing the left front wheel broke the right front
spring (main leaf). Dr. Benson and myself drove
from 6 to 12 p.m. yesterday from the location of the
Dodge breakdown (24 mi N. El Arco), and from six
to 9 this morning. Murray + Tervis were left with
all the provisions and equipment and we camped
at that location. Telegraphed Dr. Miller at Berkeley
for new parts which will probably arrive by plane
here on July 2.
Saw 2 Brown Pelicans and 4 Cormorants
fishing off shore at 8:30 this morning.
June 29 Same Location
Slept on the beach north of his last
night. Minimum temperature was 59° F with high
humidity yesterday, last night, and today.
Netted one Pipistrellus hesperus this evening
at dark as it was feeding among brush in back
of beach at place where we have been sleeping (about
1/2 mile north of town, 10+ feet elevation. The Pipistellus
were feeding with a larger bat that made a
continous "clicking" sound as it flew - probably
Eptesicus fuscus.
