10 mouse snap traps along castlelike
water shrews. Got only 5 Peromyscus
maniculatus . Camp is free, has no
water except stream, it has a few
scattered out house latrines + garbage
cans. Relatively unimproved througt
out so a person ought to be able
to camp in the aspens here whether

shower or two during night. At 0500

thru camp. Drove back to Mono Lake to
pick up traps.
