Charles 1960 Journal P. 38. 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.
