and 7 Peromyscus maniculatus, 38, 48, all
of which were discarded. Used peanut
butter for bait, but doubt that is any
better than rolled oats. Maybe a mixture
of the two would be better.
The two Zapus were taken in the
same general area where the first one
was taken, one in the same trap
and at the same spot. The other,
with damaged tail, was taken under
some fallen Artemisia where I had
taken a Peromyscus the previous night.
Nothing in the gopher sets.
Sun is shining this A.M. but the
sky is cloudy. Froze ice on water in our
pans last night.
Pequequat and I took a hike up the
canyon about a mile or two. Left camp at noon
and were back about 3:30. The canyon
broadens out about a mile from camp and
the creek forks, one coming in from the
north the other from the east. I followed
the east fork for 1/2 to 1 mile. The
elevation is about 200 ft. higher than
camp and the Pines and Juniper
Gives way to Willows, Quaking Aspen,
yellow Pine and fir. In most places the
sage brush is dwarfed. Also some.
