Villablanca 1992 Journal 22Oct the shads had clear run ways through them. One animal (dips) hopped away about 2 feet, quickly widened a hole that at first was only a depression, once it had access to its burrow system (1-2 seconds) it squeeze in and was gone. Not a "thin ceiling emergency exit", but almost a push through entrance. Another animal hopped to within a foot of the next trap on the line. It stopped there. I approached & picked up the trap; the rat still sitting, not moving until my back was turned (as I walked on.) 23Oct Camped last night at Silverwood Lake (end of Hwy 238). Looks like Dipodomys agilis habitat; Mountain chaparral, with some coniferous and deciduous forest on the mountain rims. Chaparral has lots of Adenostema & Arctostaphylos + looks like D. venustus habitat at Chalk Peak (Monterey Co.). Heading to Hwy 15, horse thief canyon is Adenostema
