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

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
