Field Trip
Wed. June - 8.
2 miles South East of Pocatello.
I drove out beyond Ross Park,
on the north east side of the
river and R.R. to a point
2 miles from town where I
had noticed gopher workings
along the R.R. right of way
earlier this spring.
I placed 14 traps in seven
sets at 12 P.M. noon and
collected them at 8 P.M. I
catched one specimen. Probably
immature. But I was curious
to note whether or not they
were Townsendii. They are
not.
On my return at noon,
I stopped and inquired of the
manager of the City Golf Course,
if he had any gophers. He
reported no gopher mounds whatever
on the whole course. It is
well sodded with blue grass and
would be fine location for gophers.
This Golf Course is connected
with Ross Park and lies about
one mile South east of this
