34. General Account.
espermotic snow and hail storm
began and continued off and
on till late afternoon making
things rather unpleasant.
At 4:15 P.M. we set
20 mouse traps up the
rocky hill slope back
of camp. This hill though
it is of a large bouldery
type still shows the
effect of glaciation on the
harder lava surfaces of
the wall. There is a mixed
type of vegetation consisting
of Ponderosa Pine, Juniper,
Yellow Pine, Black Oak,
Manzanita, Old Man Sage, and,
Fir.
The traps were set
on the table in camp to
catch the mice that were
getting into our grub.
