General Account
15 Junction Meadow, Kern Canyon.
Kern Co., Calif. 8100 ft.
Caught three Peromyscus
and a Microtus last night
in the traps. One Peromyscus
was caught in the rocks on
the hill; it had larger
ears than the one previously
catched and is believed to
Peromyscus truei?
The morning was spent
in putting up specimens.
A little before 12:00 noon
we started for a hike up
by the trail towards the
head of the Kern Kaweah
River. We met Mr. & Mrs.
Patterson, who have been camping
at the meadow for the past
day and night, about half
way up on the shoulder
and continued up to the
fall with them. From there
on we continued on along to
the second lake up the
river. The trail keeps on
the south side of the Kern
Kaweah River all the way,
