1998 M.D. Mlotcg Journal Volcano Canyon 1.4 miles E. of intersection with Foresthill Rd. Michigan Bluff on Michigan Bluff Rd. Placer Co. 21 July 39°02'27.3" 40°45'36.1" 7/21 11:35 a.m. Went through the heart of the Gold Country yesterday, with a quick stop at Sutters Well in Coloma. Mediana have been collected in Michigan Bluff but a long look in that area yielded no houses. We were successful, though, in finding houses just over the hill. On Michigan Bluff road but on the West facing slope prior to arriving at the town. We set traps in two areas separated by a tenth of a mile and camped near one of the sites. A total of 30 traps yielded 5 animals. #352, 353, and 354 in the area where we camped and #355 and 356 just downhill .1 mile. #353 and 354 were caught in the same trap - likely mom and pup, but this female also had 3 embryos - I set of twins. Also, female #355 was heavily lactating and also had 2 embryos. These animals were quite cinnamon colored, especially male #352
