(cont.) groceries and we dined, while at Needles.
We slept out on the desert a few miles
north of Needles.
Jan. 26, 1934.
We arose early and drove north along the
river road to a camp of road workers. The
greater part of the day was consumed in a
search for a suitable camp site. We con-
versed with a fur trapper on various subjects.
He gave his name as Calvin Bradshaw,
Searchlight, Nev. He conducted trapping
operations between the road camp and Search-
light, at such times as he was not employed
at road work. He stated that he had
never caught Bassariscus between the Colorado
R. and Searchlight, but had taken them
a short distance west of Searchlight.
I obtained some trapping scent of his
composition, and in return, presented him
with some beaver castor scent.
Dr. Benson requested him to save the
carcasses of mammals he might catch.
We camped a few miles north of the
Calif., Nev. state line, on a bluff just
above a willow-grown slough.
I arranged the food and utensils in the
tent and cooked dinner. The evening was
spent writing notes.
