Berkeley to Contra Costula and return
24 July occasional side road for a brief
period. I saw an Sceloporus occidentalis
among the herps. Zero snakes.
Toward's dusk it became chilly
and I ceased road-hunting.
Berkeley to Stanislaus Co., and return.
1 Aug The fog broke in Berkeley at 14:00
today and it became clear. I
drove to Fivemore, leaving
Berkeley 15:45. I road hunted Mines
road all the way to Del Beesto
Canyon Rd (Hatason Pass Rd) at I-5.
I drove back and forth through
the canyon several times and then
back along the mines road to
Tesla. It was warm in the
afternoon - both windows rolled
down, me in shirt sleeves - but
cold down rapidly at dusk,
very little bridge. The only
serpent was a DOB Liuphis
17.3 miles South of Tesla Rd on the
Mines road. It was cold and limp
when I found and had probably
been hit around dusk. See
