J. Groth 1985 journal 49. Arizona, New Mexico Trip July25 left Berkeley at about 12:30 pm. Put the keys to ABS in Bob Jones' mailbox. Traveled from 580 to I5 (not in san joaquin valley), and when near CA took I 210 to I 10 east. Traveled past Palm Springs and slept at a wayside just east of Indio, Calif. July26 Continued east on I 10, left the wayside rest area at about 5:40 am. Got to Phoenix, Ariz., by 10:30 a.m., got gas in Mesa, Ariz. From there, took 60 to Globe then 70 to Safford. Got gas in Safford (expensive). Took 666 north from Safford. There were rain clouds over most visible high elevation areas in this part of Arizona. The cone crop on the ponderosa and pinyon pines in the first pine areas north of Clifton were still green -- only minimally brown on some trees. Couldn't find a suitable dirt road until past the Rose Peak lookout -- perhaps 5-6 miles north of there, just after spotting a fine buck in velvet I found a turnoff, to the right (east of 666). The area looked o.k., and at about 6:15 pm I stopped on this dirt road to look around. Then I heard bird #327
