until about noon when it cleared.
We hope to have clear weather from
now on.
Jan.11 I collected th traps this morning. Caught
3 Peromyscus truei. Broke camp and
left for Portwill arriving then
at 1:00. There was no rain
last night but the morning
at about 8:00 a hard rain came
which lasted until we left for
home. I would estimate that this was
over a half inch of rain during the
time that we were about Whit River the
morning. I collected soil samples
from the gopher workings about camp.

Yesterday afternoon we left
our home near Portwill to
trap in the northern portion
of the county. Elms Aldrich
is the only one to accompany me. We made camp last
yesterday evening in a deserted
cabin on the Desie Ranch
of M. Vanderlip. This
morning I set about 90 mouse
traps and 5 rat traps on the
hill north of camp. This
afternoon I set 22 gopher
traps east of camp along
the open dry creek.
