Salt 1947 Journal 3 1/2 mi E, 1/2 mi N, McChesney Mtn., 1900 ft, San Luis Obispo Co., Calif. Sept. 9. At the three steel traps south of camp the bait was gone, and there were fresh coyote tracks about, but none of the traps were sprung. Broke camp and drove to Willow canyon west of Martiney canyon to reconnoiter for another locality to hunt mountain quail. The brush is more open and there is only one watering spot so it looks better from a tactical point of view. Drove out of La Panza ranch and started over toward Carrizo Plain. The Dodge truck broke a front axle right in the middle of a plowed field in the plain near Simmler. Drove with Dr. Miller to McKittrick for mechanic. Went to Taft for parts, then back to truck. Parts wrong size. Dehner & I drove to Taft. Stayed in field near there all night. Sept. 10. Drove to Bakers Field for parts; got truck fixed and camped near McKittrick for night. Set out traps in Abruplex flat. Saw Cotton tail and Amospermophilus on way out.
