October 1960 Journal 2.3 mi. N, 1.8mi. W CarmngA, Fresno Co. Calif. 17 Apr (cont'd) Large holes in center of mounds in the fields. Picked up years + left before 0600. Left night I saw a small dia. (Pencil-5.250) snake in a small hole in ground. Waited for 15 min's but snake was watching me & even after 20+3 false starts would not leave hole.
