Payne Creek - Manton area that

The nearest public lands and
campground is just East of Payne
Creek down Ponderosa Way off
Plum Creek road. South Antelope
Campground - 8.5 miles from the
intersection of Ponderosa + Plum
Creek Rd. is where we will

is about 1/2 owned by a

Forest Service part of the area
is very nice. The vegetation
is a mix of Q. chrysolepis
and other scrubby oak, at

Ceanothus, Pinus sabimana,
Arctostaphylos, some red bud
and, as always, poison oak.
We set out 30 traps in
