J.B. Ruth 1969 Journal 1 May 3 Desert Trip Berkeley - Yuma. 951.8 Intersection Camer and Ramon Roads. Riverside Co. Have been talking about creosote and how well adapted it is to a rugged environment. Hold in awe and respect says RCS I quite agree - heat, sand, browsing, water - it withstands all. We came across from Palm Desert on Rio Del Sol. The sand is drifting again in this wind tunnel. Maybe the desert will win out over man the invader/destroyer. 825.6 Stopped about 1 mi. N. Junction, hwy 78 and 86. Collected about 1 1/2 hrs. left 12:25 PM. We caught 3 Uma notata and 1 callisaurus draconoides. We are in a wash - hard pan area with scattered dunes. There are some cirrus clouds in the sky. It is not too hot, a breeze
