K.Selander, 1952 July 18 Highway from 3 mi. N Prescott to Valley of the Gila, +2000 ft., 3mi SE Bylas, Graham Co., Arizona (via Phoenix) Picked up Yale Selman in Phoenix; continued driving until about 5:30, at which time we camped in the Valley of the Gila. Camp located in stand of mesquite near some cattonwoods at side of road. Cicadas abundant on mesquite, "singing" until about 9:00 P.M. Chordeiles acutipennis common ones mesquite at dusk Tenebrina present and flying. As darkness approached, nighthawks flew lower and lower, finally skining just over the vegetation. No sounds uttered. Other birds present include Lucy warbler, Couch's flycatcher, Western (?) Kingbird, unidentified Oriole. July 19 Collected one lizard at 8:30 in morning.. Broke camp at 9:00. Drove all day, arriving at El Paso, Texas at 4:00 P.M. Had truck greased, then crossed bridge into Mexico at 6:05. American custom official asked if we had any firearms. Mexicans motioned us over to curb and began examination. After carrying one box and our suitcase into the office building, the office suggested that perhaps I could pay them something "so that the truck would not have to be unloaded". I nodded approval and they returned the box and suit case to the truck without looking into them. Gave the officer two dollars - he seemed pleased. Dick chose to leave a .22 rifle on the American side, so apparently the firearms restriction are still in force. Bought car insurance in Tuaray, then drove along
