Berkeley to La Jolla, California
1 Oct Left this morning to drive to La Jolla
where I met Allison Alberts who will
be my companion for the next 6 weeks
in Mexico. Spent the night here.
La Jolla to Guerrero Negro, Baja California Sur, Mexico
2 Oct Drove straight through to G. Negro,
stopping only a few times. Picked up a
Colubrophis hyperythrus in a can trap
10 mi SE of El Rosario, but only checked
a few other trap stations, all of
which were pretty well defunct.
I am getting worse flu and had to
stay in G. Negro due to a fever.
Jalva no snakes on the way in.
G. Negro to La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico
3 Oct Woke up feeling very sick. It was relatively
warm for Guerrero Negro, but there was a
cloud cover that seemed to extend all the
way across the Vizcaino Desert. Caught a live
adult Masticophis flagellum 66 miles
South G. Negro. Stopped in San Ignacio for
lunch at the restaurant 1 km south of
town. The boys that work there told me
that an American was killed out at
Punta Abriojos in a hurricane. Left
about 12:30 and it was cloudy all
