Itinerary
June 1 Reno, Washoe Co., Nevada
We are stopping there for orders & supplies.
Last night we did not set out any traps so
that we might get an early start this
morning. In coming from our camp to the
north end of Pyramid Lake I shot an adult
? Ammospermophilus. It was sitting in the top
of a bush watching me when I shot. It
had very large tits and was apparently nursing
young. When I went over to pick it up two
½ grown young ducked down a hole under the
bush. I shot two Cnemidoporus of the
same locality. En route for Reno we came by
way of Pyramid and . On the NW side of
the lake we saw numerous Ammospermophiles From
Pyramid we came directly to Reno.
June 3 Yesterday we traveled all day. We left our
temporary camp site along the highway early
in the morning and arrived in Baker, Nevada
at dusk. En route we saw various mammals.
At East Gate we saw two Marmots.
These animals were seen in a wash about
75 feet from the road. When we stopped the
car they disappeared into their holes. At the
same stop we saw a Rock Squirrel. At various
places in the mountains we saw Chipmunks
and Callospermophiles. Fitch shot one of
the latter while I shot a Eutamias. The
