Melanie arrived this am and we took it easy most of the day. I
blew #1478 after lunch and released him in good shape this
PM as I reset RC & MC drift fence traps (16-1700h). Today was
clear, low 50s.
Jan 15
0730-out checking drift fence traps. Clear, cold (upper 20s), heavy
frost. Opened up all traps leaving passageways OPEN, and covered
up all pit fall cans. Checked RC drift fence traps from 0800-0900,
left traps as on MC drift fences. Melanie & I will leave
tomorrow for Berkeley, but I won't be trapping tonight.
