but it looks like the area was fairly recently scared. We set about 20 traps on each side of the creek - (one slippery walk across it!). The other habitat in the area didn't appear to support any woodrats. The only oak in the area appears to be black oak and this tall, deciduous species never seems to support Medoma. Although collections have been made in the area, I found almost no sign of activity. We stayed at Bailey Canyon campground which is right at the water's edge.
