Field Trips
5 miles North West Michaud.
Sept. 26-27-1931.
Took 10 Boy Scouts to a deserted
farm house 5 miles north west of
Michaud, Power Co. Sat. P.M.
Sept. 26 and stayed over night.
From a point 5 miles
north west of Pocatello, to American
Falls, the O.S.L. Railroad and
U.S. Highway cut off a large
triangular area Seventeen
miles long and from one to five
miles wide. The Fourteen River and Am.Falls Reservoir bound it on the north side.
This area is a flat sage brush
plain. The soil for the most
part is white clay but along
the river bluff a series of
fine sand dunes, only 300 yards
wide est[illegible] for and about
a mile long are present.
We slept the night near
these sand dunes.
54 mouse traps were
placed on the fine sand dunes.
18 traps on hard clay
soil 200 yards from any fine
sandy soil.
