W Freesayer Peak, Lassen Co., Calp. us they had seen mounds in our upper hayfield when they moved boy recently. This hay is being mowed all over the valley now. We drove up to this hayfield which is located where Bomstock Canyon opens out above the valley. Here we found gopher working and I got out about 13 sets before quitting when the truck got stuck. Irrigation water had just been turned into a dry-appearing field from the two little reservoirs just above here. The truck got mired to the hub caps of the right rear wheels. Finally one of the Murrer brothers saw our plight and showed up with a truck and chains and pulled us up but not until a bit of the hayfield had been ripped up. By now it was almost dark so we ate by lamplight, and turned in right afterwards. July 23 Willow Creek Valley, 5070 ± ft., 9.5 mi. S., 4.0 mi. W Freesayer Peak, Lassen Co., Calp. Up late this morning about 7:00 AM. After breakfast we checked our gopher traps and I picked up 6 T. manticola. Then we drove over to the Hansen little G Ranch in the east end of the valley, along the dirt road that goes over the suts to the East E. Rose lake. This spring I had thought I had seen signs of a large gopher here, i.e. T. townsendi. However, a search of some of the higher scrubwood (in the spring) fields turned up no gopher signs at all.
