July 27 Mt. Shasta State Fish Hatchery 3440 ft. T 40N, R 4W, sec. 17, Siskiyou Co., Calif.
[illegible] got out 8 sets. After an hour of waiting we pulled our
traps. I had caught one Thomanys mayama,
We then continued south thru Weed and on to
the town of Mt. Shasta. In the center of town we turned
W for almost a mile then S to the Sacramento River
(or a major tributary thereof). We spent some time looking
for gopher workings just West of here along near the
river, but no success. Later we returned to the
Mt. Shasta State Fish Hatchery. Here we secured permission
to spend the night and later set out several traps around
the grounds of the hatchery. About 10 P.M. we got tubed.
July 28 Mt. Shasta St. Fish Hatchery to Red Mtn 5400 ft. Siskiyou Co., Calif.
Up about 7 A.M. after breakfast checked traps, I got two
Thommys mayama. After visiting briefly with
Mr. Hill the Hatchery superintendent we headed S and then
East on Rt. 89. About 6 mi E of Battle we turned SO off
Rt. 89 on a dirt road toward Red Mtn. and Big Bend.
After driving about 6 miles we reached a place where
the road crossed Mousehead Creek (stream flowed from right
to left when we crossed). This area had been recently logged
and the area was open, covered by brush and grass. We
found numerous gopher workings and got out some
sets - I got in 9. After lunch I picked up several
Racer along the stream. When I pulled my traps
I had two Thomanys mayama. The forest here
seems rather moist. Cedars and firs predominate
rather than pine.
