trees. Then the top flat in broken

patches. A short distance from the
trail just what 's way to the saddle
road showed me the remains of the
deadfalls which had been built by
the Indians. This consisted of
a runway of sticks some 1 rod in length
and about 6 inches wide placed so as to

The morning finished traps and set

of heavy brushy forest (macaul) with open
green spaces between patches. It was in
runways through these patches that these
traps were set. The afternoon set 4
stake on the ridge, NE of camp. Here there
are similar open green regions flecked the
heavy brushy stands with long runways
connecting the two areas.
This afternoon (4:00pm) a group of 10+
Pequeros came within 100 yd of camp and
