F.D. Anderson 1957 Journal May 18 Valencia Fagoon, Rio del Mar, Santa Cruz Co., Calif. Left Berkeley 1:30 P.M (P.D.T), arrived at Rio del Mar 4 pm. Much to my dismay I found several areas along Bonita Rd cleared & marked off into lots. 1 area has a building partly erected. One cleared area is [illegible] adjacent to parking area & close to spot where most of my animals were worked. There are indications that more is yet to come. These spots were not so only cleared but some burned as well. Adios Valencia!! Drove down to the La Selva Beach area and found pond dried up, searched willows & edge of pond - no salamanders. Rain beginning to let up slightly. Ate supper about 5:45. Returned to Valencia at 6:30. Rain just a misty drizzle. Ground very moist puddles everywhere. Dry under larger boards & logs.
