Thader 1960 Journal p. 35 July 25 Malle Flat to Dickson Flat, 4200±ft., T38N, R3E, Sec. 6 Shasta Co. Calif. Up about 6:30 AM, checked my traps and had 2 young T. bottae. After breakfast we skinned. Discovered that the bats I'd gotten yesterday had escaped. Just before leaving I checked my traps and got another T. bottae. This area is forested by lodgepole and yellow pines with many open meadows & a scattering of sage. Not underway about 11:30 AM. Continued to see habitat that resembled that where we had caught T. bottae at least a little beyond Jolley Camp. Beyond here there were fewer meadows along the road but one could probably find good T. bottae all the way to the Pit River. Here the valley of the Pit is several miles wide & much cultivation. Stopped for gas & groceries in MacArthur. From here we took a back road three Glenburn and came up the Fall River Valley. At dawn we swung Wtward away from the valley up onto the mtns through heavy timber, stopped once to check a clearing for gopher sign and got a Sceloporus. After we reached Rt. 89 we continued NW for several miles to Dickson Flat where we camped for the night. Set out 8 gopher sets around the edge of the meadow. By The center of the meadow had been flooded and was now baked hard & no gopher workings. There were many bats flying but failed to kill any. Not to bed about 10 P.M.
