2.5 mi. NW Angels Camp, Calaveras Co., California, 1200 ft.
Dec. 15 We were finishing as it got dark, got a motel in Angels Camp. Processed the blood,
the live animals, and finished skinning. Then went into town for dinner.
2.7 mi. N. Farmington, San Joaquin Co., California, 400 ft.
Dec. 16 It was clear in Angels Camp in the morning
but foggy as we drove down into the valley
on highway 4. Found some good fields north
of Farmington. Had the traps out before 11:00 am.
Again slow at first. Finished up in the
dark, but did get 17 gophers here. We did
not save any of the live animals for
spleen cells from this locality. Drove
to Pleasanton and processed the blood
and skinned the animals at my house.
Jim and Carol stayed overnight with us
and then they got out on Thursday morning
to do some more trapping. All of the
gophers from this trip have Jim's field
numbers.
