3 mi. E, and 1 mi. S. Lincoln, Placer Co, California, 500 ft.
Dec. 13 alive for spleen cells. Left the area around 5:00 pm.
Drove through Auburn to Placerville and
found a motel. Processed the blood and put up
nineteen animals, then had dinner. After dinner
did the three live animals. Got to bed about
11:15 pm.
1.5 mi. N Plymouth, Amador Co, California, 950 ft.
Dec. 14 After breakfast we drove south on Highway 49 from
Placerville, stopped at a ranch right along the
road and got permission to trap. Looked like
a lot of activity but not much after we got
the traps out. By 2:30pm we had 12 animals.
Got 16 altogether, one alive for spleen cells.
Drove to Jackson to get a motel. Finished
processing blood and stuffing animals by about
7:00pm. Went out for dinner, then did the one
live animal.
2.5 mi NW Angels Camp, Calaveras Co, California, 1200 ft.
Dec. 15 Left Jackson about 8:30am. Drove south on
Highway 49 towards Altaville and Angel's Camp.
Stopped at one house but the woman there
said we would have to ask her husband for
permission. Couldn't find him so drove
down a side road, Cosgrave Rd., to the end and got
permission to trap in the fields there.
Again a slow day, although I got 6 animals
here. We got fourteen altogether, with 3 alive.
