Hastings Reservation Field Trip
Nov. 21
The second mammalogy class field
trip to Hastings Natural History Reservation
got underway as we left Berkeley at
~10:30 A. I was in a car with Robert Dail
and Paul. Robert was driving. We drove
south on CA-17 to San Jose where we
picked up U.S.-101 south. We got off of
101 in Salinas by way of the "Monterey
Peninsula" exit and after ~2 miles,
picked up CA-68 west. From 68, after ~10
miles, we turned south on Laureles Grade
and drove for ~7 mi. and turned south
on Carmel Valley Road. We stayed on
this road for about 17 miles and turned
left into Martin Rd. (at about milepost
26.0). About 50 yards up Martin Rd. was
a gate on the left posted "Hastings
Reservation". After driving thru the
gate and continuing on a dirt road for
about a mile, we came to the various
buildings of the reservation. These included
a dumbbros, lab, office, small museum, dorm,
shade, and several houses for permanent
staff + scientists. The habitat was
Mediterranean with rolling, grassy hills,
with clumps of oak trees, and chaparral.
