M.F.Smith 1982 JOURNAL Gold Run Creek, 3 mi, S Susanville, Lassen Co, California 4240ft. Mar.22 of Richmond Rd. We caught 20 gophers today, (7 females , 3 of them with embryos which we saved ; 13 males). Got back to the motel and processed animals, with a break for dinner, Finished about 11:30pm. We saved plasma only from the blood since we don't need the Est-1 locus from hemolyzate- some of the alleles for that locus are too slow to score accurately because of interference from another locus. Mar.23 Checked holes that were left open yesterday and reset any that had been plugged. Only one set of plugged holes in the lower field I set yesterday. Then I went up to set the fields next to Nagel's Reservoir. Set out ten sets, No animals so went back to have lunch about 1:00pm. Finally caught three animals from that field. Left holes open overnight. The other had caught 22 animals, so we got a total of 25 for today. Jim and Carol caught several in the field on the other side of Richmond Rd. We finished skinning about 12:30am. Mar.24 Gold Run Creek, 3 mi, S, 0.5 mi W Susanville, Lassen Co, Calif., 4320ft. This is the locality for the three animals I cought in the field next to Nagel's Reservoir. This morning we dropped Carol and Maria Gloria off at the fields across the road from Nagel's
