R. Zweifel 1953 Journal We left Woodland Hills, Calif., on Saturday morning, June 20 and after picking up Bill Renais' brother-in-law, Jerry Klotz, in Riverside, continued on to Arizona. The party consisted of Renais, Klotz and myself, traveling in Renais' 1950 Chevrolet carry-all. About 6:00 PM we arrived in Wickenburg, Arizona and spent the evening with the Fred Shannon's. Next morning (June 21) we drove to Tucson, spending the evening at Bill Woodin's. After visiting the Arizona-Sonora Trailside Museum, of which Bill Woodin is Assistant Director, we drove on to New Mexico, camping a few miles north of El Paso on the night of the 22nd. At our campsite (mi. E Berino, Dona Ana Co., New Mexico), on the morning of June 23rd I shot three Cnemidophorus tigris. On the previous evening we had driven from Deming, New Mexico to Berino, a distance of about 100 miles, without seeing a single snake, alive or dead. The heavy traffic along this highway and bright moonlight were probably responsible for the absence of snakes. Buying supplies in El Paso and getting out gun permits in C. Juarez took most of the day, so it was well after dark when we crossed the border. We drove to a point 3.8 mi. S
