1998 H.D. Matecq Journal Hallsted 22 July 12:50 a.m. Came to the Hallsted area by way of highway 80 - 89 - 70. Stopped in the Cromberg area and looked everywhere for sign of Nedama and found none - even down by the Feather River. Continued on to Hallsted area. Nedama has been collected just past (west) of Hallsted on Rich Gulch Drive. Most of that area is now private property but we set out 10 traps and we'll what they yield - the area did not look promising even though the habitat looks perfect. 22 July 10:30 a.m. Traps yielded no animals - a few were rolled several meters from where they were set, but no woodrats in them. Now we move on to the Eagle Lake area. I suspect it will be difficult to find good habitat in that area as well.
